The Fourth Circuit And The Juror Who Called The PressThe evidence in Brandon Basham's 2004 South Carolina federal trial was that he confessed to taking part in separate killings and apparent kidnapping of two women. On appeal of his conviction and death sentence, the Fourth Circuit was faced with those grim facts on the one hand, and a startling instance of jury misconduct on the other: a one-woman media campaign by the jury foreperson, during the trial. At a time when many people are concerned about jurors' communications. |
