Former governor Symington conviction tossed on appeal
A 9th U S Circuit panel ruled 2 1 that juror Mary Jane Cotey was improperly removed during deliberations, opening the door to a new trial for former governor Fife Symington. The decision cites a reasonable possibility the juror aligned with others on guilt and calls for retrial after years since his 1997 bank fraud convictions. Meanwhile a Fort Worth Presbyterian committee recommended allowing ordination of gay and lesbian ministers pending full assembly approval.
