    U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, a Joe Biden appointee, sentenced DePape to 30 years in prison last Friday for the attack, but she admitted she failed to allow DePape to address the court before his sentencing, necessitating a re-do of the sentencing, due to happen on May 28.

    Probably inconsequential.

      Most likely. It doesn’t void the guilty verdict, he just has to be re-sentenced.

      Why wouldn’t it be? It just means a repeat of the sentencing phase. It is likely to change nothing.
