At least three jurors allegedly acted in an imperious and improper manner to ram through their prejudiced views and conclusions regarding Chanel Lewis and his "GUILT" on all charges
The boldness and overbearing attitude of at least three offending jurors suggests that they felt confident and well-placed to control the outcome of the verdict, as well as insulated from any negative fallout from their unlawful activity
As one veteran Brooklyn GOP observer might say, "The Question Begs" --- Did New York State Court personnel in Queens assist Queens County prosecutors by "seeding" the jury pool with a bunch of specially chosen "hanging" jurors immediately in advance of the retrial of Chanel Lewis
In the past few days, multiple media outlets have reported on (an) affidavit(s) claiming that several improper acts by several jurors seriously tainted jury deliberations in the Chanel Lewis retrial; and at least one counter affidavit submitted by the Queens DA's office.
Special attention needs to be given to two articles in particular (See "Vetrano trial juror affidavits detail allegations of misconduct and counterclaims" by David Brand, 4/18/19, The Queens Daily Eagle [https://queenseagle.com/all/-vetrano-lewis-affidavits-juror-misconduct-]; and " 'My Mind Is Made Up': Affidavit Details Alleged Juror Misconduct In Chanel Lewis Trial" by Jen Chung, 4/19/19, Gothamist/ News [http://gothamist.com/2019/04/19/chanel_lewis_juror_misconduct.php]).
At least one post-trial submission indicates that at one juror certainly is still actively cooperating with the Queens DA's office.
Don't expect much from any hearing on these matters by Queens County NYS Supreme Court Justice Michael Aloise. He is a pro-prosecution hack; and is a "Cracker Jack Jurist" only to the extent that he obtained his credentials as a jurist as prizes in boxes of Cracker Jack(s).
It's as bad as the central park 5.
ReplyDeleteGail, if what you are suggesting is true, New York State's top judge, Janet DiFiore, has a lot more to investigate in the Queens Courthouse involving the Chanel Lewis case than the reason why the video tape of Chanel Lewis' confession was not shown to the jury when they asked to see it.
ReplyDeleteDon't expect much from DiFiore. Notice how fatboy Quirk slapped her around and he still runs the courts.
ReplyDeleteDoes DQ stand for Dennis Quirk or Dairy Queen?
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing Dennis Quirk. People called him DQ. Was the DQ for Dairy Queen?
ReplyDeleteQueens ex DA candidate Judge Lasak bragged about being the Judge on Chanel Lewis when he got into the race. Now that Lasak is out he seems kinda quiet.
ReplyDeleteLasak might get even quieter.
ReplyDeleteWith $800,000 still in his campaign account, Lasak is in real danger of being knocked off the Democrat primary ballot for DA. One very solid spec has him about 700 signatures below where he needs to be to get on the ballot.
Dennis Squirt, a strong backer of Lasak, don't seem too happy about it.
Now that Chanel Lewis has been sentenced to "Life" by Judge Aloise, to the surprise of nobody, let's start some real muckraking.
ReplyDeleteMy top question is, 'Why was it 'necessary' for a Vetrano family member to threaten David Brand?'
Next is this: 'Did a juror prejudiced against Chanel Lewis actually tell the other jurors on the retrial about the coded 'tell' behind Judge Aloise' purple- (violet-) colored ties?'
Ulrich wins again
