In March of 2011, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for a new trial. United States v. Taylor, 636 F.3d 901 (7th Cir. 2011). The retrial (minus the death penalty charge) began on May 7, 2012, before Judge Rudy Lozano.
The Government presented evidence that, in the days following the robbery and homicide, defendants were eager to sell guns. Warren Barconia, the Chicago jewelry-seller, testified that Taylor and Thomas discussed with him the fact that they were going to sell guns in Chicago, and they also asked Barconia if he knew anyone who wanted to buy guns. (Tr. 7:157-58.)
Taylor spoke to Folksalert from prison about how Warren Barconia took the stand for the government in his trial and retrial.
