And now the law has changed.
It is no longer...
lawful to admit the fruits of a hypnosis session.
So if you wanna do that, fine, but you're not gonna get then what comes out of that in front of the jury.
And that is true in most jurisdictions in this country.
Charles wasn't able to benefit from this law.
There's no retroactive provision here.
So a law inspired by his case, reflecting a clear sense of, you know, outrage, hasn't benefited a guy on death row.
So we had new claims, new evidence.
We also had a great sworn statement from his original trial lawyer, who...
basically said, if I had known any of this, I would have been outraged.
And describing just the pressures he was under, what was kept from him, how they weren't even given any discovery until they were already, you know,
in the middle of trial, and this was standard practice, and that he looked back on his own reaction to this and took responsibility for some of his own choices that were harmful to his client, and also expressed just real outrage that this case is where it is and that Charles has not been given a new trial.
And that's pretty amazing stuff.
Without explanation.
So what this decision was, was that we're not going to look at the merits of this claim.
Not even look at it.
And, you know, it's devastating.
I get a notice.
It's what's called a postcard notice.
