East St. Louis vote fraud trial suddenly halted

This is still a developing story, but the trial discussed here has suddenly been stopped.

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, Judge G. Patrick Murphy:

....after excusing the jury and the witness, Dannita Youngblood, (Judge Murphy) told lawyers and a packed courtroom: "We have got a witness here who has testified to things under oath that everyone in this room knows are not true."

That's all I know now. My guess is that she gave testimony that contradicted her deposition. Again, just a guess.
