SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 9 – The case of Gigi
Jordan, convicted of the death
of her 8-year old autistic son
in a trial from which the
press was excluded, came back
on December 9 to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave.
Inner City Press
covered in on June 2, here
Now a challenge
to the closure of courtroom in
2014 murder trial of Gigi
Jordan is being heard by SDNY
Magistrate Court Judge Sarah
Cave. Jordan's lawyer says the
ouster of press and spectators
was a "structural error" that
doesn't require showing
harm.
Judge Cave
asks if this might not have
been trivial error. Judge
Solomon ordered all press and
spectators out so that the
prosecutor could accuse Jordan
or her legal team as being
involved in a website called
"The Inadmissible
Truth."
Now on December
9, Gigi Jordan was back,
asking to be released from the
Essex County jail by Judge
Cave. Inner City Press again
covered it.
Assistant
DA Vincent Rivellese said, "We
do believe we have a
meritorious appeal... We do
intend to retry her if the
appeal fails.”
Judge Cave
ordered Gigi Jordan freed to
home detention, saying to
hurry to 500 Pearl Street to
get the ankle bracelet put on.
That will apparently take
place on December 10 at 10 am.
There is a
$250,000 bond, co-signed by
three financially responsible
people and secured by $100,000
in cash or property, to be
perfected in five business
days.
The case is
Jordan v. Lamanna, 18-cv-10868
(Cave)
