Criminal defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh tells “CUOMO” that a prosecutor’s attempt to introduce church doctrine into the Lindsay Clancy trial on Tuesday was a major misstep. The moment came when Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague asked Susan Clancy, Lindsay Clancy’s former mother-in-law, if she was “aware that murder is considered a mortal sin.” Says Eiglarsh: “This was such a cheap shot. It’s irrelevant.” #LindsayClancy #Crime Chris Cuomo hosts "CUOMO," a no-nonsense show featuring the day's most important news from all perspectives.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Texas judge removed from Karmelo Anthony murder case after saying jury 'got it right'

A Texas judge who presided over the Karmelo Anthony murder trial has been pulled from the case after his post-verdict public comments raised questions about his impartiality, setting the stage for a new-trial hearing under a different judge. Judge Sid Harle granted the defense's recusal motion Wednesday, ordering Judge John Roach off all remaining proceedings […] The post Texas judge removed from Karmelo Anthony murder case after saying jury 'got it right' appeared first on American Almanac .

A Texas judge who presided over the Karmelo Anthony murder trial has been pulled from the case after his post-verdict public comments raised questions about his impartiality, setting the stage for a new-trial hearing under a different judge. Judge Sid Harle granted the defense's recusal motion Wednesday, ordering Judge John Roach off all remaining proceedings in the case. Harle found that while Roach had not violated judicial conduct rules and could likely be fair, a reasonable outside observer looking at Roach's public remarks might question whether he had already made up his mind. The hearing began around 9 a.m., and Anthony, now serving a 35-year sentence at the Pack Unit near Navasota, Texas, attended under a bench warrant. The ruling…Open

What was the scheduled time for the new-trial hearing following the judge's removal?
The new-trial hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m. on the Thursday following the recusal ruling.
Q&A ID 94b9dbc5-7fb0-4676-9479-0b53c71b1670
Why did Judge Sid Harle decide to remove Judge John Roach from the case despite believing Roach could be fair?
Judge Harle ruled that the legal standard for recusal asks whether a third party looking at the public record could reasonably question the judge's appearance of impartiality, rather than whether the judge is actually biased.
Q&A ID f9e401fb-2b47-43da-aee5-5348defed547
What specific legal issues does the defense raise in their motion for a new trial?
The defense's motion alleges several constitutional and procedural errors, including: the trial not being sufficiently open to the public due to a camera ban and limited seating (only 27 seats for the public); prosecutors allegedly breaking an agreement regarding character evidence; challenges to jury instructions regarding Anthony's self-defense claim; and the dismissal of three Black prospective jurors during jury selection.

That request specifically sought records containing the words "COVID-19," "gain-of-function," and "Wuhan." All three terms, Comer wrote, appear throughout the diary. Becerra never produced a single page, and never even acknowledged the diary existed, Fox…Open
