Morales’ other clemency attorney, David Senior from Los Angeles, said he stood by the validity of the six sworn statements he and Starr sent to the governor. He suggested that the jurors might have gotten cold feet when they were contacted by prosecutors in the last two days

the defense investigator who claimed to have secured their signatures[was] Kathleen Culhane

I'm inclined to think, without more evidence, that either the jurors are lying to the DA or the PI faked the affidavits.

The odds of Starr, or any attorney, suborning perjury or fabricating evidence are pretty slim. That's an all but automatic disbarrment, in addition to a felony.

Very few attorneys, especially ones that are now law school deans are going to risk their freedom and/or career on an inmate appeal.

I agree with you. It seems strange that anyone would go to such lengths over this. I find it hard to picture the DA actively intimidating the jurors too. All this, over a clemency review? Not even an actual trial?

It's the type of thing that makes one think that something else entirely is actually at stake here.

Your dry humor might be lost on some folks who think you actually mean that.
