Trial of Travis Palmer in attack on transgender woman stalls
The trial of Travis Palmer, who was charged with sexually assaulting a transgender woman in New Jersey, stalled before jury selection began with the defense attorney saying he will file a motion to dismiss the charges based on claims of prosecutorial misconduct. Apparently the prosecutor gave a few details to the local paper. The unnamed victim reportedly was going to be sexually assaulted when her attacker pulled down her pants ... then decided he should also stab her in the face and steal her jewelry. It also turns out Palmer is facing a possible life sentence under New Jersey's habitual offender law.
