Summary
Deborah Nicholls, the mom convicted in 2008 for her three children’s deaths in 2003, faces a major setback as a judge halts her bid for a new trial — the District Attorney’s immediate appeal has frozen any retrial while they sort through the case. The original conviction hinged on flammable cleaning fluid found on the kids’ pajamas, but a recent judge noted prosecutors may have withheld key scientific evidence undermining the arson theory — evidence Nicholls hoped would trigger a retrial under the Brady Rule. With the DA’s appeal in place, the judge can’t even set bail, though a status conference is scheduled to see if the sides can reach a deal and avoid sending the case to the Court of Appeals.
