Pamela Smart因她丈夫在1990年的谋杀案中扮演的角色而服无假释的无期徒刑, 试图通过在纽约和New Hampshire的人身保护令申请来推翻她的定罪。 Pamela Smart, serving life without parole for her role in her husband’s 1990 murder, is seeking to overturn her conviction through a habeas corpus petition in New York and New Hampshire. 她的法律小组认为,秘密记录的谈话记录不准确,有误导的陪审员,有缺陷的陪审团指示强调无证据限制的预谋,新罕布什尔法律没有要求她对共犯判处强制性无期徒刑。 Her legal team argues that inaccurate transcripts of secretly recorded conversations misled jurors, flawed jury instructions emphasized premeditation without evidence limits, and her mandatory life sentence was not required by New Hampshire law for accomplices. 他们还引用了偏见的媒体报道和关于影响陪审员如何解读音频的“预期偏向”的科学研究。 They also cite prejudicial media coverage and a scientific study on "expectation bias" affecting how jurors interpreted audio. 当时,Smart,22岁,在与15岁的枪手William Flynn发生外遇后被定罪,他和另外三人被减刑并获释。 Smart, then 22, was convicted after an affair with 15-year-old William Flynn, the shooter, who and three others received reduced sentences and were released. 2024年,Smart首次承认她在犯罪中的角色。 In 2024, Smart acknowledged her role in the crime for the first time. 新罕布什尔州总检察长坚持认为,对她的审判是公正的,纽约官员对此没有发表评论。 New Hampshire’s attorney general maintains her trial was fair, and New York officials have not commented. 请愿书仍悬而未决。 The petition remains pending.
