I am not sure how I feel about a judge single-handedly throwing out a jury's decision.
She's yelling things like "this man is evil, pure evil" while being removed, and her buddies are there in KKK outfits... and the judge says "oh, we need a retrial because the jury doesn't know better"? Sounds like a judicial overreach to me.
Quote:“She did not get convicted for laughing. It was her actions as she was being asked to leave,” the jury foreperson told HuffPost at the time.
Judge Morin said those interviews were irrelevant.
“Counsel, you know that’s not admissible,” Morin told Paschall. He then ordered a new trial.
