There is no such thing as a technicality. There are constitutional rights that guarantee that the proper persons are convicted of the crimes they committed. When these rights are not honored, the defendant must be tried again. We have fought innumerable wars, spilled rivers of blood, and spent countless fortunes to preserve these rights, and when you reduce them linguistically to mere technicalities you blasphemy the millions of dead who died to preserve those rights for you. Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, J.D. Masters work in Political Philosophy, Valedictorian, BTWI don't think anybody fought and died for some lawyer to find technicalities, loopholes, whatever you want to call it, to get guilty people off for crimes committed. People are fed up with the "If the glove don't fit, you must equit" mentality.
If this woman killed her kids she doesn't deserve a new trial because of some darn transcript!
There has never been and never will be a perfect trial. If she has a new trial, somebody will screw up enough that some lawyer can scream that her Constitional Rights have been violated. Where does it stop?
