Resources collected for Advanced Criminal Law: Convicting the Innocent Footnote: In postrial court filings, attorneys argue
"that jurors relied on the statement Mr. Misskelley gave the police
to convict Mr. Echols and Mr. Baldwin, even though it was deemed inadmissible
except in Mr. Misskelley's trial. Several jurors have acknowledged that
they knew about the confession before the trial, though they did not
say so during jury selection." [Shaila Dewan, "Defense
Offers new Evidence in a Murder Case That Shocked Arkansas," New
York Times, Oct. 30, 2007, A16] |
