A 24-year-old woman in Ohio serving a life sentence for brutally beating her mother with a cast iron skillet before fatally stabbing her more than two dozen times may get a second trial after an appellate court overturned her conviction.

The Ninth Judicial District Court of Appeals on Thursday reversed the conviction, reasoning that the judge presiding over Sydney Powell’s murder trial last year erred in refusing to allow Powell to call an expert witness to rebut the expert who testified for the State regarding Powell’s mental state at the time of the crime.
