Jury’s talk about Indians and alcohol gets man new trial
Salt Lake City, Utah (AP)
A judge threw out an assault conviction against an American Indian after some jurors discussed stereotypes about the drinking habits of Indians during deliberations. Kerry Benally of the Ute tribe deserves a new trial because two jurors failed to honestly answer questions about their “preconceived notions” about Indians before trial, U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball ruled. Benally, 35, was accused of striking a Bureau of Indians Affairs officer with a flashlight after complaints that he was driving erratically in the White Mesa area of southeastern Utah. |
