Summary of Case:	"Catina Curley was wrongly convicted on March 3, 2007 of second-degree murder in the shooting death of her husband committed in New Orleans on March 30, 2005. After her conviction by a majority (11-1) jury verdict, Catina was sentenced to life imprisonment. Curley's conviction was overturned on June 27, 2018 by the Louisiana Supreme Court that ordered a retrial. On June 20, 2018 Curley was granted her release on a $1,000 bond. Curley was acquitted on March 1, 2019 after a bench (judge only) retrial. (Louisiana now requires unanimous jury verdicts, so if her 2007 trial had been today her trial would have ended in a mistrial if the one hold-out juror continued to vote for her acquittal.)"
