BBM, What position is Ms. Zellner in exactly? IMO she is not phased by the lower trial court of judge AS. Ms. Zellner has always known that the trial court is just the lower rung of the ladder she needs to climb to get this all into the higher courts, as she has stated herself, that these cases are never overturned in these lower courts.
And i agree, this still has a long way to go because it can take years to overturn a wrongful conviction.
Right now, any new testing that the State agreed to before the ruling, is on hold. The State is not allowing her access to things she wanted to test, like the RAV4. Any way that I look at this, IMO, it's possible that her not letting the judge know to delay her decision while she does tests pursuant to an agreement between her and the State, is going to delay this much longer than it needed to be. For example... IIRC, the State agreed to allow her access to the RAV4, what if there is something there that was missed? that would show that SA didn't do this? Now they aren't letting her have access and she may not get access to it at all.
I hope she knows what she is doing, but there are laws specific to Wisconsin, and it seems like she has missed a few, or her local counsel has.
One thing that I don't like is that if KZ is successful on her appeal, it goes back to the same judge!!!! Talk about going around in circles! If the State is so confident in their conviction, they should just let KZ do all the testing, which she is willing to pay for, wouldn't cost them anything.
For the record, I haven't even read the judge's latest decision, I haven't had time but will hopefully get a chance later tonight. I did read that KZ has now appealed the 2nd decision to deny the motion to reconsider too, it should allow her to combine the appeals and it will allow the amended PCB's to be brought up, so that's good
