“The possibility of a rogue juror has been discovered in the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnap retrial, but the judge is handling the issue privately in his chambers and the defense is crying foul, according to a now-sealed court filing by the defense,” the Detroit Free Press reports.
The filing states that a juror in the case told co-workers that the person was hoping to be selected for the jury in the Whitmer kidnapping case, and “had already decided the case and intended to ensure a particular result at the conclusion of the trial.”
