Cory Maye to Have a Second Chance at Justice
by Stephen LittauWith my busy work schedule as it is, I managed to miss the very encouraging news that Cory Maye will get a new trial!
I think it will be very interesting how his second trial unfolds now that he will have a better legal team with better expert witnesses to debunk the dubious testimony of the prosecution.
The prosecution isn’t showing any signs of dropping the charges; if anything they seem to be hell bent on keeping Maye behind bars:
“Certainly we disagree,” said District Attorney Hal Kittrell, adding that the attorney general’s office will seek a rehearing on the matter and will appeal, if necessary, to the state Supreme Court.
If the courts all agree that a new trial is necessary, there will be another trial because prosecutors believe Maye is guilty, he said. “We didn’t buy it (his self-defense claim), nor did a jury, so we’ll go back.”
For more background on the Cory Maye saga, here are some of my previous posts on the case posted here and elsewhere.
Reason.tv also did a great job telling Cory’s story (below).
