Steven Avery Juror Had a Son Who Worked for Department

[RandySF]

A juror who voted to convict Making a Murderer subject Steven Avery volunteered with the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department during Avery's murder trial, a source tells PEOPLE.

The juror, identified by the source as Carl Wardman, also had a son who worked for the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department as a supervisor at the jail.

According to court transcripts obtained by On Milwaukee, Wardman disclosed both his volunteer status and his son's profession, saying, "I like what I do for the Sheriff's Department. I hate to miss it."

When asked whether his son, Chris Wardman, had any involvement in the Avery case, he answered, "Yeah. He's standing outside the door," presumably referring to his son working in the jail that housed Avery at the time.

Neither the state nor the defense tried to strike Wardman him as a juror. It's believed the defense allowed Wardman to stay because of an alleged antagonistic encounter with law enforcement in his past.

1. from my time on jury duty in a county similar to manitowoc in many ways and in wisconsin

if the trial goes to jury you are dead meat

the good conservative folks around there will believe ANYTHING the cops say.
they are not being evil it is just how those folks are built

2. Too late to complain about the juror now.

If the defense decided not to challenge him, then too bad.

I'm not buying this guy is innocent.

5. LOL, OK, I love that answer........

Need a list of 100s of others who had a "fair trial" and fucking were wrongly convicted.

It is obvious you have not spent 5 fucking minutes thinking about this issue.

6. I'll be convinced he was not convicted in a fair trial,...

when an appeals court overturns the conviction and forces a new trial.

Until then, documentaries be damned. If they trully had good evidence to get the conviction overturned, they'd have presented it to an appeals court and the conviction would be overturned.

7. His rape trial went all the way up to the State Supreme Court as well
