“A longtime judge’s assistant in Jackson County says she was fired for providing a public document that helped a wrongfully convicted inmate win his freedom. But court officials say 70-year-old Sharon Snyder was sent packing four weeks ago because she violated court rules against inappropriately providing advice and discussing court matters with outsiders. Snyder says she gave Robert Nelson’s sister a copy of a motion last year from a different case in which a defendant successfully requested DNA testing. Nelson was freed June 12 after DNA tests ruled him out as one of the rapists in the 1983 attack.”
