Good news about the NJ 4
Terrain Dandridge and Renata Hill have had their convictions overturned. From the Philadelphia Daily News:
NEW YORK - A New York state appeals court has reversed the gang-assault convictions of two of four New Jersey lesbians convicted of attacking a man who was stabbed after he made advances toward one of them.
The court vacated the conviction of 21-year-old Terrain Dandridge yesterday and dismissed the indictment against her. She was sentenced last year to 3 1/2 years in prison. She’s expected to be released within days.
The court also vacated the conviction of 26-year-old Renata Hill and sent it back for a new trial. Hill was sentenced to eight years. Her lawyer says she’s “delighted” by the ruling.
The appeals of the other two women are pending.
If you’re in the Bay Area, Terrain and her mother are scheduled to be at an event there on Tuesday with Angela Davis.
