"Panel awards Nacchio retrial; The ruling says expert defense testimony should have been allowed"

"Panel awards Nacchio retrial; The ruling says expert defense testimony should have been allowed": This article appears today in The Denver Post, along with articles headlined "Nacchio case granted new life; A new trial could set the ex-Qwest chief executive free, but it also could aid the prosecution"; "Dissent defends ban on testimony": and "Overturned verdict pains some; Jurors and retirees are pained by the court's decision to overturn the guilty verdict." In addition, columnist Al Lewis has an op-ed entitled "Don't expect plea deal."

Today's edition of The Rocky Mountain News contains articles headlined "Long wait for Nacchio? U.S. attorney calls ruling for new trial a 'setback, not a defeat,' ponders next move"; "It was one legal error, but just enough; Judge Nottingham's exclusion of defense witness proved crucial"; and "Critics greet appellate court's decision with dismay and resignation." In addition, columnist David Milstead has an essay entitled "His team rejoices, but he should consider a plea deal," while Scott Robinson has an essay entitled "Ruling, while no surprise, included shocker."

The New York Times contains an article headlined "New Trial Is Ordered for Qwest Ex-Chief."

The Washington Post reports that "Nacchio's Convictions Are Overturned."

And USA Today reports that "Conviction of Qwest ex-CEO overturned; Appeals court orders a new trial and new judge."

My earlier coverage of yesterday's Tenth Circuit ruling appears at this link.
