Your post leaves out very important FACTS.

The defendant was tried and convicted twice. Amy was not involved in the second prosecution.

On appeal, the defendant claimed he had witnesses to support him, but they recanted or failed to show. Multiple continuances were given by the judge so the defendant could prove his case.no affidavits were submitted.

In any event, Amy has called for a further review, and that’s the appropriate step.

The case info is here. For people who want actual evidence to rely upon.

On July 17, 2013, the postconviction court denied Burrell’s postconviction petition. The court determined that Burrell had “provided virtually no additional evidence,” and that the substance of any new evidence was “highly speculative” and “likely cumulative.” The court concluded that it had provided Burrell with opportunities to present evidence from the witnesses, time for counsel to explore possible remedies to secure the witnesses’ testimony, and multiple continuances. The court also held that it had no authority to issue a bench warrant for Brown’s failure to appear at the March 26 or March 27, 2013, hearings because Brown had not been properly served with a subpoena for those dates.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
