Tate gets new trial over book prejudiced testimony
Iowa Court of Appeals orders a new trial for Joey Tate after ruling Judge Van Metre erred by excluding Tate's explanation of his affinity for the book Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth. Tate was convicted of third degree theft for taking two pairs of pants. The court found the book's title could unfairly inflame jurors and noted the book does not promote Satan worship.
