I know AZLawyer chimed in earlier, before this latest turn of events.
I am seriously upset to hear this. I would be floored to hear J#17 revealed this relationship during Voir Dire. JM wouldn't have allowed her to remain on this jury. :no:
*IF* this is true, this goes beyond "six degree of separation" into something so sinister, I can't even fully verbalize it. :silenced:
We all witnessed the end result today. Juror #4's heartbreaking interview on NG (still working on the full transcript :blushing: ) as well as the post-verdict presser with the jurors and alternates - minus j#17 - left little doubt as to the dynamics playing out during trial and deliberations.
I still need to hear from AZLawyer and our other amazing WS Legal Eagles that something can be done! I truly believe a full investigation - possibly by an outside agency (or three!) may need to be done to uncover what really happened here.
The truth of the matter needs to be revealed, no matter how long it takes. If the process was tainted, it must be addressed. I realize IANAL, but this feels like a travesty of justice.
And it's not because I didn't like the verdict. It's because the foundation upon which the entire process is supposed to work was inherently broken. It's not supposed to happen this way.
I hope I am making sense.
May the light of day bring renewed hope that truth and justice will not be defeated. This can't be over yet, it just can't.
