    hhmm, 2 of the jurors had a huge conflict of interest

    "After the trial, I found out...[one juror] was the father of a Manitowoc County Sheriff's deputy," the dismissed juror, Richard Mahler, says. "Another juror, his wife works for the Manitowoc County Clerk's Office."

    • pardon my limited law knowledge but can't the defense 'veto' jurors for such reasons? maybe only in higher courts? i'm sure i've heard of this before.SteveJobs
    • yeah you would think so, maybe they lied or weren't investigated thoroughly?_niko
    • that's the other thing that bugged me it's such a small town, everyone is interconnected in some way, it's impossible to get 12 impartial jurors there._niko
    • don't know if it's a failing of the defence to not ask for the trial to be elswhere or if the judge made the final call_niko
