A judge can set aside a jury's conviction of a defendant and order a new trial or even pronounce the defendant not guilty. He cannot do the opposite though.

Doesn't answer the question of the relevance of an 18 year old case on anything going on today.

Upheld twice before being overturned by the 9th Circus in 1996 on the grounds the defense lawyer sucked.

The subject is Jury Tampering.  Go back to the beginning of this thread and read down to here.

I didn't ask about the subject. I saw a couple of posts. I was wondering what your POINT is? There's a difference between a subject and a point; you know that, right?

So, please, and I'll type slower this time:

What, other than spam, is the point of your post? Forgive me, but I'm not quite catching why you're posting here.

This little shitstain loves to open seemingly "controversial" threads, posts all manner of inane shit, then steps back to watch the party unfold.

In short, he's a troll.
