Judge orders ICE to release 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, his dad
A juror who wrote sexually explicit letters to a murder defendant and then visited him at the county jail didn't commit jury misconduct, a judge said today.
District Judge Valerie Adair said defendant Ricky Vazquez won't get a new trial because juror Marnie Ramirez didn't commit misconduct when she contacted Vazquez.
Vazquez was convicted of second-degree murder and Ramirez was a juror in his case.
Ramirez testified briefly today, telling the judge that she wrote to Vazquez only after she and the other jurors delivered a verdict in the case.
