A Little Jury Tampering.


After listening to testimony in a murder case, jurors in Baltimore retired to their jury room only to find that they had returned to a scene of a crime.

While they were in the courtroom, the jurors had become victims of a crime themselves: somebody had stolen their money, cell phones and car keys.

Talk about twelve really angry men and women.

"They were angry, hot, livid," lawyer Warren A. Brown, who was in the courtroom on another matter. "Here they are, jurors in a murder case, and we can't even trust the court to protect their belongings from thieves. It's mind-boggling."

Best as anyone can tell, the crime occurred around 2:30 p.m. on March, 19, 2004, when a thief used a set of keys to slip into the locked jury room, said a spokesman for the Baltimore Sheriff's Department.

Investigators believe it was an 'inside' job.

Not to be outdone, the defense lawyer in the case, attempting to make the most out of the distressing situation, made a motion to have the case declared a mistrial.

The judge wasn't buying it; the motion was denied. "If the crime that occurred to the jurors was the same as the crime they were deliberating on that would be one thing," the judge said. "But this incident is too remote."
