Jurisprudence

A national magazine, Jet, will report a different story from a juror in Mike Tyson’s rape trial than reported by an attorney, who said he overheard the juror at a gym.

Just after the trial ended, the juror allegedly was overheard complaining the “case was rigged.”

The juror, a 24-year-old black man, is quoted in the March 2 issue of Jet as saying: “justice was served” and that the former heavyweight boxing champion got what he deserved, The Indianapolis Star reported Wednesday.

“This time and in this situation, the justice system worked,” he said in the Jet article.

Meanwhile, the Marion County Prosecutor’s office said its investigation into the juror’s alleged remark was complete and that it had uncovered “no evidence of any improper conduct by or toward any juror.”
