April 28, 2020 – Pasadena, California. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the conviction of Shaun Khojayan’s client and remanded the case for a new trial in a victory for justice and the Constitutional Right to a Fair Trial. District Court Judge Percy Anderson had disallowed the insanity defense despite there being evidence that the defendant was insane at the time of the assault. After trial, the judge sentenced him to ten years in federal prison. Today, the Court of Appeals granted Mr. Khojayan’s appeal, vacated his client’s conviction and sentence and remanded the case for a new trial.
