A defendant is seeking a new trial after being convicted of murder. The conviction was for a fatal stabbing that occurred during a confrontation in stadium bleachers. The defendant, now 19, was sentenced to 35 years in prison. His legal team argues that a retrial is warranted due to strict courtroom rules and a post-trial interview given by the judge.

The trial judge has been ordered removed from the case. A new judge will be assigned. Further details about the case and the events surrounding the stabbing are available.

The defendant's appeal and request for a new trial are currently underway.
