Lekin seeks new trial over juror witness knowledge claim
Gary P. Lekin's request for a new trial hinges on alleged juror bias after juror Fred Ray Tibbitts testified he did not knowingly know two witnesses and only recognized a third name after questioning. The May conviction included counts of inciting murder and conspiracy related to the Jan 30 shooting of Ronald Hopp. The defense contends Tibbitts and shooter Robert Maddox Jr. were jailed together in December, and Maddox's testimony could bolster the motion. The hearing paused to assess whether Maddox's testimony would help the defense.
