The murder case against Courtney Hayden has been dismissed.
In 2015, she was convicted in the shooting death of Anthony Macias, but today, Judge Nanette Hasette granted Hayden's motion to dismiss the case, ruling that prosecutors intentionally suppressed evidence that might have changed the outcome of the trial. That evidence might have proven Hayden's claim that it was self defense.
She was originally granted a new trial after her defense attorneys learned about the evidence issue.
District Attorney Mark Gonzalez, who wasn't in office during Hayden's trial, says he probably won't appeal Judge Hasette's decision. |

And prosecutors are in jail pending arraignment on charges of obstruction of justice and contempt of court, right? Right?
Oh, nevermind. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
