Unfortunately, it’s really just an issue of form at this point, but the Rutland Herald reports that Donald Fell’s attorney has asked judge William Sessions to throw out the death sentence handed down by federal jury earlier this month. The article notes that the motion should not be taken seriously right now.
“Before Sessions would issue a ruling throwing out the verdict and ordering a new trial I would expect him to order an evidentiary hearing,” he said. “That would be the first sign that Sessions is taking any of these issues seriously.”
