A legal system... not a "justice" system

Just spitballin' here, but I'm thinking that's a clue... apparently Justice Michael Dambrot disagrees...insert alt text here
Kalen Schlatter was sexually aroused by choking women and confessed to a sex partner “he didn’t feel comfortable strangling her" because he had difficulty gauging his own strength and restraining himself.

The jury that is now deciding whether Schlatter committed first-degree murder by sexually assaulting and strangling 22-year-old Tess Richey on Nov. 25, 2017, never heard any of this evidence.

Trial judge Justice Michael Dambrot ruled the choking evidence and violent porn on Schlatter’s cellphone too prejudicial.

UPDATE: Ol' Kalen had better start working on...

...suppressing his gag reflex, or they'll just knock out his teeth...
"Kalen Schlatter looked shocked and pale as a jury found him guilty Monday of first-degree murder for sexually assaulting and strangling Tess Richey."
