第一个律师不给力

On June 1, 2009, San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Stephen Hall set aside the conviction and ordered a new trial. The judge said that for the first time in his 12 years on the bench, he found that a defendant's trial attorney had failed to provide an adequate defense. The judge held that a "reasonably competent defense attorney" would have presented evidence to the jury that Chen "lacked the propensity to commit sexually deviant acts, would have presented good character evidence that was plainly available, and would have presented evidence from an expert in Chinese language and culture to explain (Chen's) statements and demeanor" while testifying.

 

On November 2, 2009, San Mateo Deputy District Attorney Melissa McKowan dismissed the charges, saying that the girl refused to testify at a second trial.
