Anand Jon’s attorneys say there has to be new trial as per case law
Los Angeles, Mar 2 : Indian-born fashion designer Anand Jon's attorneys insist that his case should be heard afresh because they were not given a fair chance to find out why some jurors contacted the defendant's family more than once, something that demands a new trial according to the law.
Defense attorneys Leonard Levine and Ronald Richards say whatever might have been the reasons for them contacting Jon's family, there has to be a new trial as per the case law.
They said that the prosecution destroyed any chance of a fair trial by not letting the truth come out.
"But for the District Attorneys blocking the door to justice. we would have found out why the juror contacted (the defendant's sister)," LA Weekly quoted Richards as saying in a new conference.
"There is still a considerable amount of discovery that needs to be uncovered," Richards added. (ANI)
