'Who killed you?' The jurors who used a Ouija board to find a murderer guilty

we really should have thought of this technique much earlier.

[TheBattman]

Appeals Court squashed the original conviction - he was retried soon after and found guilty...

The source is questionable.

A Jury of your peers.. Unbelievable.

[varyouga]

The Jury system is broken and jurors/employers need to be more fairly compensated so they can treat jury service like a real job.

Most people just want to get the hell out and get back to work/family

[Lazamataz]

It’s ABC, which means the story is likely faked.

[EinNYC]

They must have used a “shot” glass...

[PGR88]

Robert Mueller is VERY excited about this new prosecutorial tool.

[PLMerite]

“A Jury of your peers.. Unbelievable.”

They thought it said “a jury of your seers.” Silly them.

[neverevergiveup]

Good point! It’s all because of poor jury instruction.

Funny, if true. And Ouiji uses bad grammar. Shouldn’t it have been something to the effect “this guy did it” rather than “this guy done it”? Whomever was “guiding” his/her wine glass to spell out the guilty verdict was ignorant and a lout.

ABC=Always Bull Crap

[SIDENET]

A Magic 8-Ball would have been better.

[SERKIT]

Seth Rich? Donald Young? Other victims of Arkancide?

[I Drive Too Fast]

Ray asked, "Who killed you?". The glass spelled out, "Stephen Young done it".

The ghost has ghastly grammar.

Anything to keep from having to think...Losers!

Might be, but the source is the Australian Broadcast Company, not our (US) beloved ABC.

"Who killed you?" The glass spelled out, "Stephen Young done it".

"How?" The glass spelled, "Shot".

Where? In the study?

I knew Ouija boards could write poetry ("The Changing Light at Sandover," [transcribed] by James Merrill, National Book Critics Circle Award in 1983), but didn't know they played "Clue."
