When it comes to Philadelphia these trials are a joke,maybe that's why they were so brazen about how they went about committing the crime,knowing that something will get screwed up.If these jurors were not sequestered that right there was mistake no. 1.Who knows what happens now,what happens if the witness's change their mind,it only seems like this could hurt the prosecution more so than the defense.
I respectfully disagree, 22.
While I always make it a point to point out that I'm not from Philly and not familiar with the players, I think I do know a little something about the court system, even though they very from state to state.
The defense was clearly losing this one, and being that the mistrial was called BEFORE any lengthy deliberations, leads me to believe that they were able to get to a single juror. Next time they'll be sequestered, and that'll be all she wrote.
And you can also look for additional charges of jury tampering. Because if tampering turns out to be the reason for the mistrial, the bagman is obviously as inept as the rest of that crew. Because they ALREADY know about it.
Just my two cents.
