Overview
- Florida’s 2nd District Court of Appeal disqualified Judge Michelle Sisco from Alicia Andrews’ case and kept sentencing on hold.
- Chief Judge Christopher Sabella was ordered to appoint a new judge to oversee Andrews’ sentencing.
- Defense attorney Jeremy McLymont filed an 18-page petition alleging Sisco abandoned “cold neutrality,” supported by 16 clips from the streamed trial.
- McLymont welcomed the ruling and said he plans to seek a new trial for Andrews.
- A jury acquitted Andrews of first-degree murder but convicted her of manslaughter in Julio Foolio’s 2024 killing, leaving her facing up to 15 years as four male co-defendants face potential death sentences.
