he was eventually retried right?
On the case I served jury duty on?
Yeah, but we weren’t on that case at that point.
Basically the prosecutors re-showed a deposition/interview but the second showing to the jury showed more than they were supposed to and introduced new evidence to the case (i.e. that he was already serving time on another case) and basically tanked his case on the standing case being adjudicated.
His own daughter was saying she wasn’t raped but the detective at the scene and the psychologist said she was raped and suppressing the memory.
it was a fukked up case and even more scary because we all couldn’t settle on a case of guilt.
It was so crazy because after the mistrial both the defense and prosecutor came into the jury chambers and told us that the guy was basically guilty and that the replaying of the video fukked the case up showing that he was already a criminal.
