Court Removes Juror Who Failed To Disclose His EIGHT Prior Arrests By Chicago Police
A district court judge last week removed a juror from a federal civil rights trial after it was learned that the juror had failed to disclose the fact that he had been arrested on EIGHT prior occasions by Chicago police officers. In the case before the Court, four plaintiffs were suing two Chicago police officers claiming they were falsely arrested by the police. Thus, all jurors were asked during jury selection whether they had ever been arrested by the Chicago police. The juror at issue failed to disclose his extensive arrest history. The Chicago police officers were represented by Andrew Hale and Jonathan Boulahanis of Andrew M. Hale & Associates.
