Liberal logic

[Slyhunter]

A man who was found guilty of shooting dead a rival over a gambling dispute has had his conviction overturned because his mother couldn’t find a seat during jury selection, according to reports.

The bizarre ruling means that Daniel Floyd, 23, who was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for killing Leon Hill, a young dad, in Brooklyn, New York in March 2008, is about to start a second trial. His conviction was overturned by the Court of Appeals on the technicality in April 2013.

The court ruled that because his mother, 41-year-old Melissa Floyd, was unable to find a seat in the courtroom, a retrial was needed because it could not be deemed a public trial, the New York Post reported. It said that Floyd’s mother ‘has an absolute right to be present’ and defendants ‘have an absolute right to a “public trial”.’ Overcrowding meant that the courtroom had been closed.

‘This violation… requires a new trial,’ the judges ruled, the Post reported. Jurors who had convicted Floyd were shocked.

People need to get real. Use some logic and common sense.

The appeals court is full of liberal appointed judges.

Damn liberals can't think you got to lead them by the nose for them to figure things out.

I saw a news item on this yesterday. The ruling is ABSURD.
There has to be a way to challenge and defeat this garbage.

Yer kidding, right?
The word "liberal" does not have to be present to know the political leanings of such an asinine ruling.

No, it just took *you* to find a new source to support your point - which wasn't made in your OP. It's not my responsibility to do your research for you.

*it may surprise you but asinine rulings get made by conservatives too*
