Court grants new trial to New Mexico gun dealer family
----------------------------------------------------
The case has taken an increasingly disturbing series of turns, including evidence that the prosecution intentionally withheld evidence. From his comments, Judge Brack appears to have finally had it with the prosecution. In addition to detailing the conditions of bail, the judge offers a scathing criticism of U.S. Attorney conduct throughout the case, charging ‘there is no doubt the prosecution, intentionally or negligently suppressed the evidence,” raising serious questions about witness credibility and other factors being withheld from jurors.
“Viewing the significance of the suppressed evidence in relation to the record as a whole,” Brack wrote, the Court concludes that Defendants’ Motion for a New Trial should be granted.”
