On Case # 2010-CF-003635-A-0, are any other cases set on the docket for hearing AS OF 10/31/2111. I remember this from a news broadcast. This case needs to have a letter sent by you to the Judge presiding on why this judge accepted the verdict, when the judge should have overturned the jury ruling.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, in Case # 2011-CF-011016-A-0, I have not heard of this case until now o 10/31/2011. This case also needs to have a letter sent by you to the Judge presiding on why this judge accepted the verdict, when the judge should have overturned the jury ruling. Both of the verdicts are shameful and injustice. How can you help?
In the Ricketts case, the State Attorney's office opted not to file formal charges (also known as the Information). They have to have enough evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt (a very high burden of proof because you're potentially taking away someone's freedom by putting them in jail). I'm not privy to the details of the case (only what was reported in the media), but it would appear as though they didn't have the evidence they needed.
ReplyDeleteOn the Gohde case, they did file formal charges, but the case was later dropped by the State Attorney's Office. The most common reason is a missing/uncooperative victim/witness. This case never went before a jury & there was never a conviction. Nolle Prossed (or nolle prosequi) means the State chose not to proceed at this time. Most of the time, it's done & over with. Sometimes they re-file if new evidence comes up or a witness becomes available. If the defendant's right to a speedy trial is at issue, the State sometimes nolle prosses the case and refiles later when they've got all the evidence they need.
In both cases, the judge had nothing to do with the disposition.
Hope this helps!
Hi. I’m trying to find out more information on Issac Leshawna.. Was there a appeal, was she mental ? How can I get more information on this case. Why couldn’t she get an out of state jury, why did the judge deny her this opportunity for a fair trail ?
