Juror gets 10 days in jail, 'killer' gets new trial
Woman's answer on questionnaire gets verdict tossed

That’s the resolution of a long-fought case in Grand Junction, Colorado, over the juror’s response to a questionnaire.

The juror said she wasn’t a victim of domestic violence but later admitted she was.

Channel 9 in Denver reported a judge sentenced Marilyn Charlesworth to 10 days in jail, a move believed to be unprecedented in Colorado for a juror.

Charlesworth was among 12 jurors for the Michael Blagg trial in 2004. Blagg was convicted of killing his wife, Jennifer Blagg, in 2001 and sentenced to life in prison. The couple’s young daughter, Abby Blagg, never has been found.

But Blagg is now scheduled for a new trial.

WND reported Charlesworth was found in contempt by Judge Jane Tidball. The Grand Junction Sentinel said Charlesworth “willfully” gave the wrong answer to a juror questionnaire.

....................................She also was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and will report to the Mesa County jail July 12.

Well, that's what happens when you lie to get on a jury.

She lied so she could get on the jury. Probably lucky she wasn't charged with perjury. She has cost the country tens of thousands of dollars plus clogging up a courtroom, for another trial.

My guess is that a lot of folks are going to think before answering the question.
