The man who killed 3 members of Jennifer Hudson’s family is trying to appeal. He believes, Jennifer’s status influenced the guilty verdict.
In a seven-page motion by Amy Thompson, an assistant public defender, we could read :
“The testimony was irrelevant, and because of the fame of the witness, the prejudicial effect of the testimony on the jury outweighed any probative value that it would have.” She is also mentioning the lack of physical evidence tying him to the crime scene, argues that the judge did not give enough time to the defense to prepare their case. The judge gave the lawyers 2,000 pages to read and a 6 hours video, 6 months prior to the trial.
They are due in court on July 24th and could be sentenced the same day if he rejects the bid.
