Dyer verdict. defense cites discovery and prior incident
The trial exposed failures in evidence handling as Dyer faces sentencing after a guilty verdict for sexual assault. Defense attorney Foster plans a new trial motion, arguing the victim’s April 1985 allegation was not part of the prosecution and could have swayed jurors. Juror Hadley said prior claims did not alter his view of guilt, while juror Forward noted the victim’s prior information was not decisive. Connally will set sentencing after a 10 day pre-sentencing investigation.
