Friday morning Orie
Great graphic below from the P-G's James Hilston on the doctored evidence in the Orie case.
After the session recessed to allow prosecutors to rustle up a documents expert, the Orie team huddled in the hallway while prosecutors returned to their offices. The courtroom has seldom been more than half-filled through the trial, but by the time of the ensuing midafternoon hearing, it was the toughest ticket on Grant Street. Audience chairs were filled. Other curious observers, including Judges Donna Jo McDaniel and David Cashman, found seats in the jury box for the stunning reality show.
Dan Majors and I talked to jurors. Here's jury foreman Charles King:
"The next jury will deal with the same thing. ... There was too much doubt over whether it was forged or not," he said. "That was a lot of what we were deliberating on. It was a very hard time deciding on any verdicts -- there was an overwhelming amount of evidence, and it was hard deciding what was truthful and what wasn't."
