#3  The ruling was a big win for the defense. But evidence from a duffel bag Nowak was carrying — a steel mallet, buck knife, BB gun resembling a real 9mm handgun, gloves and six feet of rubber tubing — remains in the case.

Bah! Just your typical urban survival kit.

Tossing the case will certainly accomplish that Judge Lubet. I thought her defense was based upon temporary insanity, not evidentiary issues? I wonder if the judge is a bachelor who enjoys stories about astronauts.
