Juror Dismissed from Fraud Trial after Receiving $120,000 and Promise of Acquittal

Reported 6 months ago

A juror in a fraud trial in Minnesota was dismissed after reporting that someone left a bag with $120,000 in cash at her home, promising more money if she voted to acquit seven defendants accused of stealing over $40 million from a program to feed children during the pandemic. The prosecution described it as an outrageous incident, with this case being part of a larger conspiracy costing taxpayers $250 million, involving defendants spending money on luxury items instead of providing aid to low-income children. The trial continues with heightened security measures.
