Supreme Court Vacates Convictions Against Black Muslim Man Due to Attorney's Racism

The highest court in Massachusetts has vacated sex trafficking convictions against a Black Muslim man.
The defendant's court-appointed attorney posted racist and anti-Muslim vitriol on social media, creating a conflict of interest.
The attorney's racism continued even after he took the case.
The court ruled the defendant was denied his right to effective assistance of counsel.
The district attorney's office must decide whether to try the case again, drop the charges, or negotiate a new plea deal.
