Apparently the Jury foreman was involved in another rape case a decade ago and did not disclose it to the courts, leading to this declaration.


But your link says:

quote:

Watkins found that a juror, who did not disclose during jury selection that he was a victim of statutory rape, was biased and could not have been impartial in considering the case.


So was the jury foreman involved in another rape case, or was the jury foreman the victim of a rape?

I believe the juror was the subject of a rape case, the victim of statutory rape, and somehow felt he didn't need to mention this during voir dire or didn't come forward truthfully on the details. Piece of shite.
