Justice of the Peace Anna Gibbon faces questions from the panel that will ultimately decide her fate.
The panel will determine whether or not she had advocated for her son in his failure to yield case in June 2019.
John Tzanis opened up the discussion Tuesday, asking Gibbon whether she believed her son’s case should have been dismissed on the first trial date, rather than be pushed to a later date.
Gibbon has consistently said her son had been denied justice throughout his time dealing with the justice system.
Gibbon stressed she only wanted a judicial decision the day of the trial and added if the prosecutor had made a convincing argument against her son, she would have accepted it.
The trial was pushed ahead because there was a sticky note on a file presented to the judge presiding over her son’s case, stating his relationship to Gibbon.
In instances such as this where there is a “conflict,” the lawyers and judge should not know the relation to ensure there is no bias in the decision.
Questioning from the panel continue.
