Lawyers for two different defendants have asked the courts to cancel murder convictions, claiming that the judges acted unfairly and that legal procedures were not followed correctly.

兩名不同被告的律師已請求法院撤銷謀殺定罪，聲稱法官採取不公正行動且未正確遵守法律程序。

In Collin County, Texas, the defense for 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony has requested a new trial and asked for Judge John Roach to be removed from the case. The defense emphasizes that the right to a public trial was violated because recording devices were banned and seating for the public was limited. Furthermore, they claim that prosecutors broke an agreement regarding evidence, which forced the defendant to give up his right to testify. They also argue that Judge Roach was not impartial because of comments he made about the verdict after the trial. This case, which involves the death of Austin Metcalf, previously gained attention due to racial tensions and public protests.

在德克薩斯州的柯林郡，19 歲的 Karmelo Anthony 的辯護方已請求重新審判，並要求將法官 John Roach 從本案中除名。辯方強調，由於禁止使用錄音設備且限制公眾席位，違反了公開審判的權利。此外，他們聲稱檢察官違反了關於證據的協議，迫使被告放棄了出庭作證的權利。他們還認為 Roach 法官在審判後對裁決發表評論，顯示其並不公正。這起涉及 Austin Metcalf 死亡的案件，此前因種族緊張和公眾抗議而引起關注。

Similarly, in Regina, Saskatchewan, an appeal has been filed for a man convicted of killing Misha Pavelick in 2006. The defendant, whose name is hidden for legal reasons, argues that Justice Catherine Dawson was biased in favor of the prosecution. The defense claims that the judge handled evidence poorly and misapplied a specific legal rule regarding how witnesses are questioned. Consequently, they argue that these mistakes led to an unfair trial. Because of this, the appellant has requested that any new trial be decided by a judge instead of a jury.

同樣地，在薩斯喀徹溫省的雷吉納，一名被判定於 2006 年殺害 Misha Pavelick 的男子已提起上訴。該被告因法律原因隱匿姓名，他主張法官 Catherine Dawson 偏袒檢察方。辯方聲稱法官處理證據不當，且在質詢證人的特定法律規則上運用錯誤。因此，他們認為這些錯誤導致了不公正的審判。因此，上訴人請求任何新的審判應由法官而非陪審團決定。

Both cases are now waiting for a court decision to determine if these claims of judicial bias and procedural errors are valid.

兩起案件目前均在等待法院決定，以確定這些關於司法偏見和程序錯誤的指控是否成立。
