I learned from almost 20 years as a judge every day something crazy could happen that I'd never seen before. I came across a 2017 news article describing how in 2016 a NY doctor, while a jury was deliberating charges that he raped a patient, disguised himself and "entered a private jury room and taped falsified jury instructions to the tables and doors." (The Patch, Port Washington NY). Video footage shows him entering the courthouse dressed in a leather jacket and baseball cap, but leaving shortly thereafter in a suit and using a walker. He was sentenced to 1-3 years in prison for third degree burglary and first degree attempted jury tampering. (Article also in NY Post)
