Gigi Jordan, a wealthy medical entrepreneur, previously admitted to plunging a lethal dose of medications down her son's throat with a syringe before she ingested multiple medications herself and emailed a relative, who alerted authorities
Jordan claimed at her trial that she had decided to kill herself and Jude because she believed that one of her ex-husbands was planning to have her killed, and that without her the boy would fall under the care of her other ex-husband and would be sexually abused. Both men denied her allegations against them.
Cave determined that closing the courtroom had violated Jordan’s Sixth Amendment right to a public trial, and Jordan was released from prison to home confinement. In its ruling Thursday, the appeals court said that even if the trial judge erred in closing the courtroom, no precedent clearly establishes that a conviction following an erroneous closure must be vacated.
The ruling means Jordan will likely be returned to prison. Messages seeking comment were left with her attorney.
