Stevens' juror lied to fly to horse race
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Stevens' juror lied to fly to horse race
So, it's OK for the juror to do something like that and then come
back and brag about it?? No consequences whatsoever??

Re: Stevens' juror lied to fly to horse race
Will her erratic behavior have any effect on the appeal?

Probably not because she was dismissed and didn't participate in the deliberation.mellytu74 wrote:Will her erratic behavior have any effect on the appeal?
I'm sure the defence will try though.

Re: Stevens' juror lied to fly to horse race
I agree with your conclusion but you've stated the facts imprecisely. She originally did participate in deliberations. When she was dismissed from the jury, though, they jury had to restart deliberations from scratch.Bob Juch wrote:Probably not because she was dismissed and didn't participate in the deliberation.mellytu74 wrote:Will her erratic behavior have any effect on the appeal?

Given the high-profile nature of the underlying case, it wouldn't surprise me at all if charges were filed against her. --Bob
