St. Louis — Eight years ago, a juror in a capital murder trial notified the judge that two other jurors had sex while sequestered — and that two sheriff's deputies guarding them had sex too. Now the man convicted of second-degree murder in that case is demanding a new trial on a claim that his lawyers did not do enough to persuade the judge that the escapades tainted the verdict. The issue is back before St. Louis Circuit Judge Julian Bush, who presided over the 2000 trial of Roberto Dunn, now 34, who was convicted of killing his girlfriend's mother. In August 2000, about two weeks after the conviction, Bush got a letter from a juror making the accusations. "Sexual liberties by deputy sheriffs were rampant also," In her letter, Thompson accused two jurors of having sex with each other during two evenings at a hotel where the panel stayed. She said jurors believed the two sheriff's deputies assigned to the case were having sex with each other while on duty at the hotel. "Acts of sex and insubordination were scandalous and unspeakable …" Thompson wrote. She testified in the recent hearing that she heard sexual noises coming from the next hotel room. Stroup said Thompson "was very upset" about the sexual contact. "Because of the seriousness of the case, she was concerned how lightly these other jurors took their responsibility. She was more than willing to testify on (Dunn's) behalf."

I’ve read this story like 9 times and I still fail to see what I’m missing.    So a couple jurors and a couple deputies were fucking during this murder case.  Big deal.  I mean isn’t that to be expected anytime you put up people in hotel rooms?  It automatically becomes like Spring Break.   I thought everybody knew this. But how does having sex taint the verdict? It’s not like they showed up to court drunk.   If you ask me this just sounds like another textbook example of a fat bitch who was jealous that the hot juror got to hookup while she sat alone in her room eating pretzels and watching Matlock and now she’s out for revenge.  So if that means letting a murderer walk free than so be it.   Fucking fat bitches.  Their anger knows no bounds.
