Then what the hell did they convict him on? The fact that he's a non-white male with a scary terrorist sounding name?
Their DNA evidence was weak at best and now all of that is called into question.
The kid was nothing more than an emotional trump card.
I don't see how the state has grounds for a case now. Unfortunately this is highly embarrassing for the DA's office, and they will probably let stubborn pride prevent them from doing what's right.
I think waseem is gonna have a very lengthy appeals process.
Agreed, D.A.’s office were never going to welcome the news (hence my post) but some of those comments I find staggering.
“Cobb Assistant District Attorney Jesse Evans, who prosecuted the case, said he is disappointed with this turn of events, but he is unaware of any legal reason to believe the conviction of Daker is in jeopardy.”
As a ‘star witness’ surely that’s an unsafe conviction? That said if this Loretta Spencer Blatz
character has been communicating with Waseem? A new trial will be problematic.
“Evans tried to meet with Spencer Blatz to talk about her concerns but has not been successful to date“.
Mmmm.
Interesting stuff.
