Julie Amero: Defense Files Motion for a New Trial

by Karoli on June 5, 2007 · 7 comments

Amero’s attorney, William Dow III, based today’s motion for a new trial on “evidence discovered after the verdicts and now in possession of the state and the defense.” In light of the new evidence, Dow said the jury reached inaccurate conclusions about Amero’s alleged Web surfing.

Judge Hillary Strackbein is expected to rule on the motion prior to sentencing.

Now, if the Judge has been paying attention and reads the motion carefully, she should grant the motion for a new trial right now, opening the door for the prosecutor to then do the right thing.

More as I find it…

I’m excited! I’ll be glued to my computer screen tomorrow morning (not that it would be out of the ordinary).

Same as Gideon, although the time difference to the UK means it’s already afternoon here. Does anyone know what time the case is due to be heard?

Cleared!!!!
Motion granted, and state unlikely to retry the case. Judge says prosecution’s “expert” mislead the court.
