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

He was convicted twice.

He was given 5 opportunities to present witnesses under oath to support his claims. They either failed to appear or recanted their statements.

There is no evidence that Amy even knew of any alleged misconduct, let alone was involved in it. The video that has floated around was for the second trial. Amy was in the senate then.

But, of course, both the article and the people here who keep posting about it don’t want to describe the context. They don’t want to address these facts.
