I'll try to be brief and vague.
I was a juror on a civil case. The verdict was 9-3 for the defense. I was one of the 9. It is several weeks after the trial and now and I am being contacted by the defense. The plaintiff claims that there may have been some shenanigans in the jury room and is seeking a retrial.
The statements of the the three opposing jurors taken by the plaintif were emailed to me. I have been asked to provide a statement for the defense detailing the deliberation in the jury room.
1. Am I obligated to do this?
2. Am I setting myself up by engaging in discussions related to this or making a statement?
Thoughts?
To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave.
Reach high, think big, work hard, have fun.
