astronaut Lisa Nowak.
A Circuit Judge agreed last week with the defense that police
coerced Nowak and didn't appropriately advise her of Miranda
rights. The prosecution's new filing does not specify a cause for
appeal.
Nowak is charged with attempted kidnapping, battery and burglary
with assault. She has pleaded not guilty. Her attorney has filed
notice of intent to use an insanity defense.
The alleged incident happened in February. Authorities say Nowak
stalked Colleen Shipman at an Orlando airport and tried to get into
her car, then attacked her with pepper spray. Shipman, the
girlfriend of former space shuttle pilot Bill Oefelein, was able to
drive away.
