'New York Jew' has 1983 arson conviction overturned due to antisemitism
“The credible evidence of antisemitic juror statements undermine the fairness of this verdict and denied Mr. Jacobson his Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury trial.”
Barry Jacobson, second from left in this undated photo, was convicted of setting fire to his Massachusetts vacation home in 1983. His conviction was overturned in 2022.
