Cory Maye, the subject of Radley Balko's investigative report "The Case of Cory Maye" , is no longer condemned to die
Reason, Dec, 2006
Cory Maye, the subject of Radley Balko's investigative report "The Case of Cory Maye" (October), is no longer condemned to die. On September 21, Judge Michael Eubanks ruled that Maye's original attorney was incompetent during the sentencing phase of the trial, and that he should receive a new sentencing hearing.
Balko put Maye in touch with the lawyers who handled his appeal. At press time, Eubanks had yet to rule on several other defense arguments; at the very least, Maye is temporarily, and perhaps permanently, off death row.
