An appeals court in Wisconsin, faulting a judge for failing to pull his daughter-in-law from a panel of potential jurors for one of his cases, has ordered a new trail on that case, according to the\u00a0Milwaukee Sentinel Journal.<\/p>\r\n

The Court of Appeals ruling means that a Sheboygan woman, Sharon Sellhausen,\u00a0will have another chance to plead her case to a jury. She was convicted of battery on a law enforcement officer and\u00a0disorderly conduct last year.<\/p>\r\n

Her defense attorney used one of his challenges to have Judge L. Edward Stengel’s daughter-in-law excused\u00a0during the voir dire. As it turned out, the sister-in-law did not sit on the jury.<\/p>\r\n

The judge had asked the lawyers in the case if they wanted him to remove her, and said he would if they asked.<\/p>\r\n

But in its ruling, the appeals court said that\u00a0trial judges should “always remove any immediate\u00a0relative from panels of prospective jurors,” according to the Milwaukee paper.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
