 |  Death Row Inmate Gets New Trial Because of Tweet What kind of idiot uses Twitter during a murder trial so that something like this can happen? Seriously, this sounds like the plot for a bad made-for-TV movie or something. The Arkansas Supreme Court on Thursday tossed out a death row inmate's murder conviction and said he deserves a new trial because one juror slept and another tweeted during court proceedings. Erickson Dimas-Martinez's attorneys had appealed his 2010 murder conviction because a juror sent the tweets despite the judge's instruction not to post on the Internet or communicate with anyone about the case. The lawyers also complained that another juror slept. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2011/12/...because_tweet/ |
