I remember this like yesterday. He first posted that they were hung BEFORE it was known they were hung. He then came to court the day before they actually hung dressed like a peacock and a smirk on his face like he knew something and was camera ready and pacing all over the hallway (he was usually quite rumpled in court).
I think his cockiness got ahead of itself and he messed up when he PUBLISHED (on azcentral.com) that a note had come in from foreperson Juror 15 I think? We were all sitting there refreshing our phones and saw that I immediately stood up asking BEth Karas, Jeff Gold, Chris Williams (who's in bed w/ Kiefer) just HOW he knew the foreperson's identity at this stage while they were STILL DELIBERATING?
They all kind of shrugged, Beth said "we all have our sources" but that to me seems like it should be protected at that stage. How did he know so confidently they would hang? Why were the foreperson's post verdict comments so identical to things Kiefer had said to my face about the case? And why did the foreperson agree with the other jurors to wait until Tues to speak to the media then have them in his home the very next morning? (Sat I believe). I connected the dots in my own head, spoke with some of the jurors about it and it is my opinion only (take it for what it's worth), that Kiefer had contact with this foreperson DURING deliberations. This is just my opinion and I can't prove it, but it's what I believe.
