Was Makeover Mom's Undercover Sting Worth It?

Translate Into:

2008_11_giulahl.jpgSo Doreen Giuliano transformed herself from a 46-year-old Brooklyn mother into a sexy, blond, and tanned 30-something in order to befriend a juror from her son John Giuca's murder trial--and is now using recorded conversations with the juror to get Giuca's conviction overturned. But will it work? The NY Times speaks to some experts about the results from Giuliano's elaborate scheme which allegedly resulted in juror Jason Allo telling her he should never have been on the jury since he knew people on the prosecution witness list. A Legal Aid lawyer tells the Times, “Even if this had come to light somehow during the trial, even then it might not have occasioned a mistrial. Even if the whole thing were true, I think it might not result in a new trial." A law professor from NYU adds that there's a "very high bar" for proof of juror prejudice. Giuliano says she didn't consult a lawyer before hatching the sting, but did hire one midway through. And a lawyer for Giuca had previously filed for an appeal, claiming prosecutorial misconduct.
