However, 91��Ƶ Law School Professor Bennett Gershman, who is also a former New York prosecutor, told the Washington Post that the Scotty David misconduct “probably won’t result in the verdict being vacated because the evidence is very, very strong and this information does not seem to me to be central to the ability of the jurors to make an informed and impartial fair verdict.”
