Public defender David Dunn has asked for a new trial for Sam Parker, the ex-cop re-cently convicted of murdering his wife. Parker was convicted Sept. 3 in Walker County Superior Court. Dunn said he made the request for a new trial on Tuesday, Sept. 8, with the Superior Court clerk’s office in LaFayette. Dunn said this is the first step in the appeal process, which could take up to a year. “It is impossible to predict at this point (of a time for a new trial),” Dunn said. “I am optimistic on our chances of an appeal,” he said. “I don’t quit fighting until the fight is over and this is a long way from being over,” Dunn said. Parker was charged in February 2008 with the murder of his wife, Theresa. He has been in jail since then. Theresa was a dispatcher with Walker County 911. Her last known contact with anyone was about 9:30 p.m. on March 21, 2007. Her body has not been found. Sam was a sergeant with the LaFayette Police Department when she disappeared www.catwalkchatt.com/pages/full_story/push?article-Defense+seeking+new+trial+in+Parker+murder+case%20&id=3579993&instance=home_Most_popular
