WTOL in Toledo is reporting on an affidavit that suggests jury misconduct during Father Gerald Robinson's murder trial.
The sworn testimony of an acquaintance of one juror, if true, confirms my worst fears: the jury believed that Father Robinson was a child molester, so they convicted him of murder, despite the exclupatory DNA evidence. As one expert quoted in the piece remarks, the disclosure is "disturbing." But is it enough to get him a new trial? We can hope.
Here is the article in the Blade about this recent development.
