Holley alleged in a Nov. 14 declaration that the two met for lunch the following day in Santa Monica, Calif.
“During our lunch meeting, the foreperson was friendly, cordial and forthright,” she continued. “She concluded our meeting by telling me that she believed that some of the other jurors would also want to speak with me.”
Holley, who noted in her Nov. 14 declaration that she obtained the foreperson’s information by looking her up online, said the foreperson later contacted her to let her know about two other jurors who were willing to meet with her and gave her their numbers, allegedly with their permission. The lawyer said she phoned the pair and met with each separately at restaurants.
“Both jurors were cordial and pleasant,” Holley said. “I am confident — based on my interactions with the jurors and their willingness to speak to me—that none of the three jurors with whom I met consider—or ever considered—my contact with them to be unwanted, harassing or otherwise improper.”
