An appeals court says the judge in Eulis Campbell’s murder trial should’ve sequestered the jury that later convicted him.
West Palm Beach – Onetime female impersonator Eulis Campbell is entitled to a new trial thanks to an appeals court ruling Wednesday that the trial judge erred in not sequestering the jury that convicted him of first-degree murder.
Campbell, 28, was convicted in November 2006 of the stabbing death of Farook Baksh, 45, a married truck driver and landlord whom he met at a gay bar. He went with Baksh to an apartment in the Westgate community near West Palm Beach.
