Right decision 2 years late, State v Faust

The Nebraska Supreme Court makes the right decision finally 2 years late, revisting State v Faust (Faust II). The Court reversed her double murder verdict because the jury should not have heard the truth that she was a psychobitch. Her defense counsel was ineffective for letting it in. This time the Court sees the writing on the wall and affirms. She had even less to go on this time, getting down to tainted identifications, a very difficult hurdle to leap.
