Bail denied again for man whose conviction was overturned
Bail was denied again for a man whose conviction in connection with a deadly shooting was overturned.
John Guica screamed out after the judge once again denied his bail.
Guica's mother said she hoped Thursday would the day her son would finally come home after his attorney discovered documents that they say prove a detective lied on the stand during his trial. It's just the latest of many twists in the case.
Guica's conviction in the 2003 fatal shooting of New Jersey college student Mark Fisher was overturned after his mother went undercover to get close to a juror and prove that he knew some of the witnesses in the case.
Prosecutors filed an appeal to get a reversal on the overturned conviction, but then Guica's friend, Anthonio Russo, who is also serving a life sentence for the murder, allegedly confessed. Guica's mother and attorney don't believe the case will ever go to trial.
Whether a trial date is going to be set will be determined on Sept. 6.
