News about Matt Tucker

Matt Tucker, a Clayton County, Georgia, suffered from a stroke over the weekend and was unable to attend jury selection for his client Hannah Payne. Tucker said he emailed the court to inform them of his medical condition, but Judge Shana Rooks Malone said he didn't. Malone also accused him of not having a stroke, advising the courtroom: 'There's no hint that he had a stroke, so I can't go forward.' Tucker said he was 'astonished' by his reactions and he said from his hospital bed: "I couldn't believe it." On television, she made me look really bad.' Tucker is considering filing a motion to have her dismissed from Payne's lawsuit because she fears his client, 23, will not have a fair trial after Malone's allegations.
