- 2:10Speaker 2: and status was imploding. A jury found him guilty of

- 2:16Speaker 2: for a new trial months after his convictions, claiming that

- 2:36Speaker 2: jurors can be cross examined and put under oath, and
- 2:38Speaker 2: text messages and other records can be subpoenaed. Newman would
- 2:42Speaker 2: make that decision in his capacity as the trial judge.
