And what does that mean?
Impeach?
It just means kind of undo a verdict by a juror changing their mind.
And that's the law because jurors change their minds all the time.
I mean, it's a heavy decision.
You make it in a jury room when you're in a situation where you're talking with your fellow jurors.
And a lot of people have second, you know, second decisions on that, particularly when they hear about what the sentence is, you know, especially states that have mandatory minimums.
Jurors aren't allowed to know about the mandatory minimums when they're voting to guilt, you know, for guilt or innocence.
And then after they convict and they find out what the mandatory minimum is, a lot of them are horrified and said, you know, if I had known that this person was going to get life, you know, for example, I would never have voted to convict.
But I think the lawyers are smart here.
The appeal is saying that the court, that they're trying to give the court the opportunity to prevent an unjust result.
And they're trying to wedge in this juror's confusion to say it's an unjust result.
And so the trial court does have broad discretion to do that.
I don't think it's likely to win here because we don't like to overturn verdicts once a jury speaks.
But they are trying their best at this.
And, you know, they're arguing that juror instructions can be complex.
They can be confusing and misunderstandings happen.
The
Problem is, and that's one of the reasons I spend so much time arguing jury charges and the law to jurors.
I know it gets boring and I always warn my jurors, I'm sorry, but I don't want to end up in a situation where a juror is doing something like this and saying, you know, I voted for it, but it's because I was confused.
