A juror was dismissed Monday after reporting that a woman dropped a bag of $120,000 in cash at her home and offered her more money if she would vote to acquit seven people charged with stealing more than $40 million from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic. “This is completely beyond the pale,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said in court on Monday. The 23-year-old juror said she immediately turned over the bag of cash to police.
Easy for me to say over a screen, but if I knew the person was guilty and it was a serious thing, I’d tell them to take that 120k and shove it up their ass, or better yet, do what this person did and call them out on their bullshit tactics.
