One of the jurors in John Goodman’s DUI-manslaughter trial who wrote a book about his experiences makes a startling revelation: He conducted an experiment the night before the Wellington polo mogul was convicted by drinking three vodkas to see how they would affect him.
Juror Dennis DeMartin of Delray Beach, who provided a copy of his book to the Sun Sentinel on Thursday, wrote that the experiment helped convince him that Goodman was guilty. The revelation comes as Goodman’s defense attorneys are seeking to have the conviction thrown out based on jury misconduct.
