Murphy Gets New Trial In Fargo Case Reversal
Major Murphy, Ward County, North Dakota, has won a new trial after the state supreme court reversed a lower court order. The reversal centered on Judge Pollock’s visits to the jury room and remarks to the jury. The opinion allows an affidavit of prejudice and a possible venue change under a law passed last session. The decision notes other errors but emphasizes lack of jury room communications outside open court as prejudicial.
