Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Re: I knew the juror

First of all, the important thing is whether the JUROR knew or recognized or remembered YOU ... not the other way around. If you recognize a juror, but the juror says that he doesn't know you from Adam, then there is no problem.

Here's the problem that I see with your situation/complaint: your issue could be easily turned around and made to appear like you sat back and waited for the verdict to raise the issue ... if this was such a concern that you didn't feel like you would get a fair trial, why didn't you bring this up when the jury was being selected (of tell your attorney so he/she could ask the juror questions to jog his/her memory)? You waive (give up) on many possible appellate issues if you do not object or raise the issue at the time of the trial.
