Jurors deliberating in a monthlong federal armed robbery trial in Washington, D.C., stumbled onto a key piece of evidence that investigators, prosecutors and defense attorneys had all somehow missed.
A Chinese yuan bill tucked in one piece of clothing and a suspicious white powder folded inside a piece of paper in another were discovered during deliberations in the trial of Shamell Naquan Joyner, who was accused of robbing a string of 7-Elevens and gas stations, and stealing cars, in the spring of 2023.
It took the jurors themselves to uncover the evidence in the pocket of the defendant’s jacket.
