Juror in Joshua Neff case excused after conversation with neighbor about the trial

 


In my last post on Joshua Neff's jury trial for battery and criminal threats, there are court minutes and I reported that jury deliberations started on 4/18/25.

The 4/18 court minutes were not available until this morning. Before closing arguments, Retired Judge John Feeney informed Deputy District Attorney Rebecca Buckley-Stein and Mr. Paul Gallegos that a juror may have had outside  contact or a conversation about the trial. After questioning the juror which involved conversation and statements by a neighbor; that juror was excused. Today, jurors requested readback.

4/21: in the afternoon, jurors said they had reached a verdict on Count 1 but were hopelessly deadlocked on Count 2. After some clarification, the jurors are deliberating until only 10:30 a.m. today. 

4/22: Verdict. Guilty Count 1. Not Guilty Count 2. Sentencing on 4/25.
