Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I have evidence that came after a conviction and sentencing that 2 jurors knew witnesses in the trial. What do I do with this information and is it to late to ask for a mistrial based on juror misconduct?

I would contact your lawyer. There are specific time frames for filing post conviction motions for relief in Florida.

That may constitute newly discovered evidence. You can file a motion to set aside the conviction based on newly discovered evidence, and that may allow you to conduct juror interview and some other evidence. There are, however, strict timelines so it is important that you act as quickly as possible.
