The Southeast Texas Record has an interesting story about plaintiffs' medical malpractice attorney Valorie Davenport's motion for new trial in a malpractice lawsuit she lost in a failure to diagnose breast cancer case. One of the lawyer's ground for a new trial is the Southeast Texas Record tampered with the jury.
"The acts (of distributing these periodicals to ... sitting jurors) constituted attempted jury tampering and probably resulted in the unjust verdict ... and requires that a new trial be granted," the motion states.
The whole things sounds completely crazy. You can read the article on the case here.
