The Logistics of the Medina County Courthouse Provides Prosecutors the
Opportunity to Prejudice the Jury, Which Can Overhear Prosecutors’ Remarks Made
in the Narrow Hallway Adjacent and Contiguous to the Office of the Judge’s
Secretary, Where Medina County Assistant Prosecutors Regularly and Routinely
Congregate During Court Proceedings.
Following Mr. Hartman’s
first trial, one of the jurors made certain remarks to a third party with no
connection to this case. The juror’s
remarks, as related to the defense by the third party, strongly suggested that
the jury was prejudiced by certain remarks made by Medina County assistant
prosecutors from the office of the judge’s secretary and the adjacent narrow
hallway, made with the deliberate attempt to prejudice the jury. This was, of course, just one more unethical
tactic employed by the Medina County assistant prosecutors intended to deprive
Mr. Hartman of a fair trial, done in bad
faith.
Medina County assistant
prosecutors regularly and routinely congregate in the office of the secretary
to the trial judge during court proceedings.
The office is accessible via a narrow hallway, which also affords access
to the contiguous jury room. Comments
made in the secretary’s office, and in the narrow hallway, can be overheard in
the jury room. Medina County assistant
prosecutors have employed the logistics of the proximity to the secretary’s
office to their tactical advantage to make remarks intended to prejudice the
jury against Mr. Hartman and other defendants.
Further proceedings in
this case, including the trial, if any, at Cuyahoga County will preclude the
possibility of Medina’s assistant prosecutors from offering gratuitous remarks,
within the hearing of the jury, intended to prejudice the jury against Mr.
Hartman.
