Here's a question for you.

You're on trial for first degree murder.

You're facing life in prison without the possibility of parole.

And sitting in that jury box, one of the 12 people who will decide whether you ever see the outside of a prison wall again

is a man whose son-in-law works for the prosecutor trying your case.

Not in law enforcement, not in the county for the actual district attorney in his office under his direct supervision.

Your lawyer stands up and says, judge, this juror has a family member working for the other side. He's got to go.

And the judge says, nah, let me think about it over the weekend. That juror stays, that juror

deliberates. That juror convicts. Now, before I tell you what happened next, let me tell you

who we're talking about. Letitia Stouch is accused of stabbing. Actually, at this point, convicted, now reversed, not convicted, but accused of stabbing her 11-year-old stepson Gannon Stouch, 18 times, beating him with a blunt object, shooting him in his head, stuffing his body in a suitcase and dumping it under a bridge in the

Florida panhandle. It's sentencing. The judge called it the most horrific case he had ever seen.

Now, I want to be absolutely clear with you right now. Leticia Stouch is a monster. What she did to that

little boy is evil. I have zero sympathy for her. None.

And nothing I say tonight should be taken. It's sympathy for what she did. But yesterday,

the Colorado Court of Appeals said, it doesn't matter. Murder conviction reversed. Life sentence

vacated. New trial, ordered. Because the Sixth Amendment to the United

States Constitution does not say you have the right to an impartial jury, unless you're really,

really guilty. It does not say you get a fair trial unless the crime makes people sick. It says you get a fair trial, period. And that right

applies to every citizen, the best of us and the absolute worst of us. Because the day we start

deciding that some people are just too evil to deserve constitutional protection is the day those protections stop meaning anything for anyone.

Tonight, we're going to walk through the entire opinion.

I'm going to show it to you on the screen, and I'm going to explain what happened, why it happened, and what comes next.
