Justice delayed is justice denied.
In an update to my earlier post "Bad Judge Makes Bad Law" , word is out on the O'Malley Gazette that Baltimore County Circuit Court Administrative Judge John G. Turnbull II has granted a prosecution request to delay the start of the trial of Bryan Keith Rose as a result of Judge Souder's ridiculous ruling that fingerprint evidence cannot be used in the trial.
In the words of Prosecutor Jason League, "This ruling virtually overturns 100 years of jurisprudence with respect to the admissibility of latent fingerprint evidence."
Meanwhile, the family of Warren T. Fleming is denied the opportunity to see his alleged murderer brought to justice.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Thanks, Judge Souder. I hope you are never the victim of a crime where the prosecution has to rely on fingerprint evidence.
