Cory Maye Reversal
In an injustice that my colleague Ralph Luker several years ago highlighted, the Mississippi Supreme Court has overturned Cory Maye's conviction for murder and remanded the case for a new trial.
The grounds for the decision were exceedingly narrow--a finding that the trial court judge erred in his response to Maye's second request for a change of venue--suggesting perhaps that even this very conservative Supreme Court was troubled by the circumstances of the conviction.
