A federal appeals court has overturned the conviction of a man dubbed the “S&M Svengali” and ordered a retrial in a sensational case that involved mutilation and extreme humiliation.
Glenn Marcus, 55, was convicted of breaking a law that wasn’t in place when some of the offenses happened, which amounted to a violation of the U.S. Constitution, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a decision issued Thursday.
