Not sequestering the jury and one juror lying on the questionnaire as well will be brought up. I recall, probably incorrectly, another juror saying they did feel pressure due to the chance of riots but I can't seem to find that. |
Yeah there was an article with an interview by a jurer who talked about looking out the window and wondering what would happen if they returned the wrong verdict as it was their home town.
They'll definitely attack it based on juror bias, probably not being able to move the trial. Undue influence by the Governors statements to the press, and not sequestering the juror and not restricting their exposure to news and TV.
I don't know if a new trial will come up with a different result. I hope not, but you never know.
