Topic: Hobbs Conviction Overturned--Victory for the Righteous.

The appellate court determined that the trial judge had taken the case away from the jury by ruling that the documents in question were not subject to the Public Records Act, as a matter of law.  This instruction was requested by the District Attorney, in spite of the warning from Hobbs' Lawyer (me) that this was improper.  In addition to the Appellate court finding the impropriety, it also found that the documents might well BE subject to the PRA.  The district attorney has not determined whether or not it will try Mr. Hobbs for a third time. We are ready and waiting.
