“The letters likewise proof a member of the jury who, regardless of all she had heard and saw, was attempting to get the Solicitor (Peterson) to come to harmony with what he did and the effect it had on his life and the existence of Laci’s family,” she composed. Peterson’s lawyers didn’t quickly return a call for input.
