Fraud trial juror reports getting bag of $120,000 and promise of more if she’ll acquit
Associated Press ^ | AP

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.

These seven are the first of 70 defendants expected to go to trial in a conspiracy that cost taxpayers $250 million. Eighteen others have pleaded guilty, and authorities said they recovered about $50 million in one of the nation’s largest pandemic-related fraud cases. Prosecutors say just a fraction of the money went to feed low-income kids, while the rest was spent on luxury cars, jewelry, travel and property.

Gosh. I’m starting to think that some of our juries are tainted.

If she was smart enough to keep the cash, maybe she could use it to move before they come back to kill her for refusing the deal.

“”Imagine what the DOJ bribed the Trump jurors with””

They probably delivered the loooong list of the people around Clintons who have died, with a few TBD** at the end. Heck, that list could have been in the Jury Deliberation Room.

**TBD - To Be Determined, for all of the people in Rio Linda.

They dismissed a juror for being honest and reporting a crime related to the case but did not declare a mistrial?

Sounds like the judge kept the bag of money he got.

Utter BS, and your are the target they hope to play this to, because you are not one to think on their own.

She called the police right away. I wouldn’t accept it. I would figure it was a setup.

Let’s just say that something smells about the story. If the story is true, her & her family are in grave danger. If something happens to the family, there is no one to identify this woman. But it sounds hokey on several levels. Perhaps the thieves are as stupid as they sound with this as it is being told.
