Amy Senser jury may have been confused; defense wants convictions overturned
| In an appeal filing, Senser's attorney argues the jury was confused when convicting her of two felonies. |
At the heart of Nelson's contention is a note jurors sent to Hennepin County Judge Daniel Mabley just before her verdict was read on May 3. That note, which wasn't read in court, said, "We believe, [Senser] believed she hit a car or vehicle and not a person."
The glaring problem with the note is that during the trial, no evidence was presented that Senser hit a car. Senser didn't deny that she ran over and killed Anousone Phanthavong last August, but said she initially thought she'd struck a construction barricade, not a person. So why in God's name would jurors write a note stating they believe she thought she struck a vehicle if they were paying attention to the trial?
