Albert Wilson, from left, and his attorneys, Josh Dubin and Michael Whalen, have a brief discussion during a hearing to determine whether Wilson will get a new trial, on Nov. 2, 2020, in Douglas County District Court.
A prosecutor and a defense attorney this week submitted their final written arguments and now await the judge’s decision on whether a man convicted in a Lawrence rape case will get a new trial.
Lawyers for the man, Albert N. Wilson, have argued that their client’s appointed defense attorney was so “constitutionally deficient” that Wilson’s trial was unfair. They introduced evidence that had not previously come out in court during two days of hearings on Nov. 2 and 3.
