Judge William Sullivan Gives Defense an Hour to Appeal Mistrial Decision
EXCERPT:
SULLIVAN: "I know, but as they‘re walking in, you‘re asking for this. I‘m just trying to find out what it is that you‘re asking for. That‘s all."
REDDINGTON: "What we're asking for is time to file a single justice appeal for this travesty. That‘s what I‘m asking for."
SULLIVAN: "So you‘re asking for an emergency stay at this point?"
REDDINGTON: "Yes. And the jury is going to have to come back tomorrow. They can be told they don‘t even have to come back if I lose the motion. But if I win the motion, then obviously they would have to come back Tuesday."
SULLIVAN: "I‘ll — if you want to go up and petition to the SGC for a stay, I‘ll give you an hour before we bring the jury back down. I think you could — it‘s just a request for the stay of the declaration of mistrial. So I‘ll hold off for an hour, and then we‘ll come back in -- in regards to that."
REDDINGTON: "Okay."
SULLIVAN: "All right?"
