Death Row’s Cornelius Baker a No-Show at His Own Pre-Trial Ahead of Potential Reprieve

January 15, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Cornelius Baker was a no-show at today's pre-trial, taking advantage of the judicial equivalent of an excused absence--excused by the judge, though his own attorney was not aware that Baker had waived his presence, and the pre-trial had to be re-set for Feb. 4. Circuit Judge Margaret Hudson is presiding over the case. It is prosecuted by Assistant State Attorney Jason Lewis and Assistant State Attorney Tammy Jaques, right, and defensed by Junior Barrett (standing with the lawyers, closest to the camera).

Lawyers and the judge in the re-sentencing case of convicted murderer Cornelius Baker focused on a lengthy questionnaire about the death penalty the defense planned to submit to potential jurors. The judge ordered the questionnaire significantly shortened.

Obscenities Aside, Kimberle Weeks Appeal May Come Down to Judge’s Baffling Decree on ‘Public Meetings’ Definition

Circuit Judge Margaret Hudson refused to allow a definition of “public meetings” during ex-Elections Supervisor Kim Weeks’s trial last year even though both defense and prosecution wanted a definition, which went to the heart of the case. That’s now a central plank in Weeks’s appeal.
