[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My neighbor has jury duty for a murder trial

Posted: 3/15/2006 4:59:36 PM EDT

She told me the murder weapon is a glock pistol marked with " for goverment use only" marked on it. She doesnt know any thing what so ever about firearms so i couldnt get any more details. Any clue on that pistol ? The defendent is 2 X felon whose older brother is in jail for murder

. Its a family tradition i guess.

I have seen post-ban LEO only mags that are marked like that, but not a pistol.

Probably the prosecuter trying to show the jury how evil the guy is by impressing on them that he used a weapon that is for police only.

Umm. At least in WA, jurors are not supposed to discuss trials with anyone until AFTER the trial is OVER.

If she's talking about it with you while it's going on, that may be grounds for a mistrial, or at least for her being removed from the jury.

If you don't want to see the bad guy getting off on a technicality, you should probably inform the courts NOW so they can remove her and seat an alternate.

How do you know he's a bad guy? Is everyone in a courtroom guilty until proven innocent?

They probably passed the Glock down the jurybox with a postban mag in it and that has the marking on it but since it was attached she's assuming its the gun

Did you tell her those words mean nothing? I hope she does not vote guilty because of that.

He is a 2x convicted felon who admitted to the crime. The victim was shot 18 times from what she told me.

However, this does not excuse her from violating the oath she took as a juror. I would stay away from her entirely until that case is dispensed with.

And you sure as hell don't need to be giving her advice or commenting on evidence you haven't seen. I don't know if it would be considered jury tampering on your part, but if her getting thrown off and bringing you up in conservations might make it uncomfortable if (IF, a conditional, not a guarantee) the
DA decides you and she caused a murderer to get off.

Probably won't happen but you can sure be involved in pissing off people you probably don't need to annoy.

It seems YOU just told thousands of us. Not to mention the alphabet types who look here. Lets see, your in MI, the perp has a relative in jail. Id say any half assed gov type who trolls here may already be on it. They would be obligated to pass it on Id guess. Dude it was a BAD move to post ANYTHING related to it here.

She shouldnt be asking you or telling you about ANYTHING that goes on in that trial if she is sworn.. ( unless the judge allows it) She, and you should know better.

I've seen folks in just this stuation end up in the witness chair testifying as to what their neighbor told them. The consequences of your little chat can be pretty unpleasant.

I have never understood what makes people post things on this forum that they shouldn't even be telling anyone else.

a glock marked for police use was most likely a police tradein.

cdnn has used glocks for $379 that was formally property of "henrico sheriffs office" (page 35)
