Juror’s blog alleged to have denied rapist a fair trial

The defence attorney representing a convicted rapist in the Belknap County Superior Court, New Hampshire, has been attempting to convince the court that his client’s rights to a fair trial were compromised by comments made by a jury member on their blog.

According to the Citizen Online, the comments on the unnamed jurors blog were not found until after the completion of the trial. Defence Attorney Mark Sisti said Monday that he felt the communication on the “blog site” infringed on his clients rights and that the post indicated that there are concerns with the case regarding “presumption of evidence and burden of proof.”
