Jury upholds state sexual predator law in Tucker case
Judge Thomas Cooper denied a new trial as Tucker faced possible long confinement. Prosecutor DeAndrea Gist declined comment while defense lawyer Andy Anderson attacked the law as preventive confinement. Tucker asked to send a watch to his son and to distribute his poem Growing to jurors. The trial featured a state psychiatrist deeming Tucker treatable only with intensive therapy and a defense critique of commitment statutes as Nazi-era overreach.
