<font size=3><b>Judge Brady Rules in Albert's Favor!<br><br>
</b>Great news!<br><br>
The hearing on Tuesday went so well that Brady has already ruled in
Albert's favor, granting Albert an evidentiary hearing on the issue of
discrimination in the selection of the Grand Jury foreperson (read the 2
page ruling
<a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=chxbttcab&et=1104554780881&s=652&e=001P_99a2HW7qgMOkOXBU7MDeX-iiWw7sr5qpxh0_s-xtOhSTQZsc2MldFSl9vNUATpMAfblnZMyLvJ5kKqwXlToy4uGVFB3iCl8p3BK2JqnIHnoIQC7_tmJM3I_1hY5s5bZIZMkffZqlOQguZjLA4LazqWVL_s8b-910CxZlcOPuI=">
here</a>). The presumption that discrimination occurred is now
technically in our favor and this hearing will be the State's chance to
rebut it. Timelines are still being worked out but most likely the
hearing will be scheduled by summer.<br><br>
This is a small but important step towards again overturning Albert's
unjust conviction. A huge congrats to the legal team for the months
of unexpected legal work it took them to get us back to this stage of the
game, and lots of gratitude to all the supporters who made the trip to
Baton Rouge to fill the hearing courtroom. Thanks to a brilliantly
argued case, the court is better poised to again give Albert yet another
chance at freedom than it was when this process began.<br><br>
