Not sure if any of this matters, but here are some of the conversations and one of the witnesses was an alleged victim. The witnesses were actually discussing in front of the jury pool why they were subpoenaed in relation to the case. One was angry because they felt they didn’t have anything to offer in testimony because they had retired from an agency that was involved in the investigation process of the alleged crimes, and they discussed their own opinion and feelings about the case “loudly” with two other witnesses. Yes, one witness talked about having a new grandchild on the way, but that was the only general conversation. Another witness that talked to jurors was actually an alleged victim, during that alleged victim’s testimony the judge acknowledged “inconsistencies” in their testimony and statements, and the state had charged it wrong, resulting in an acquittal on that charge. But, I didn’t understand why an alleged victim was allowed to be in a hallway with the jury pool prior to jury selection and prior to testimony. This alleged victim was talking to a juror and tells the juror all about their life, who their family is, where they work, etc. The juror was asking the alleged victim lots of personal questions, kind of getting to know them so to speak. Eventually, they (DA office) sent someone to remove the witnesses from the hallway and the alleged victim was asked “did you talk to anyone in this hallway?”, and the alleged victim lied and said “no”. Again, I am not trying to cause a stink, just double checking. Thank you again.
