للمرة الثالثة.. إعادة محاكمة أمريكي اتهموه بالقتل عام 1993

After more than three decades since a horrific murder in the Buffalo suburb, the court is preparing to begin the third trial of a man previously convicted in the case, after the jury in the second retrial was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

Details of the Crime

In February 1993, Deborah Mendel, a mother of two, was beaten and strangled inside her home. The crime scene showed signs of a violent struggle, with evidence that the victim fought back fiercely before her death.

Controversial Evidence

Years after the conviction, new DNA testing revealed that the genetic material found at the crime scene did not match the accused, prompting the judge to overturn the conviction and order a retrial.

Trial Without a Verdict

During the most recent trial, the jury was unable to reach an agreement on acquittal or conviction, leading to the announcement of a mistrial and awaiting the court's decision on the next steps.

Reactions

The victim's family expressed deep disappointment at not having received justice after all these years. In contrast, the defense attorneys assert their client's innocence and insist on continuing the legal fight to prove it.
