Evan Wright (appellant counsel) greets the panel and reserves five minutes for rebuttal before beginning argument for Ronnie Claiborne's appeal.
Oral argument before a Tennessee appellate panel on Ronnie Claiborne’s appeal focusing on whether a juror failed to disclose prior law‑enforcement employment and relationships with prosecution witnesses, and whether that nondisclosure requires a new trial. Appellant counsel said the juror’s ties created a presumption of bias; the state said voir dire questions were general and the post‑conviction court credited the juror. The court took the matter under advisement and recessed, saying a decision is expected in the coming weeks.
