Porter offered to “help him,” the juror told the court the next day and claimed that he was “a wrong place in the wrong place”.

The juror said he couldn't speak to him and reported the incident to the court.

The investigators said in court documents that Porter rose to check the surveillance video for the cars of two jurors.

When Porter was taken into custody again, the MPs found a “large bundle of currency” on him, which they had regarded as the means with which he would have paid the juror for court documents.

At the time of submitting the court documents, the authorities had not spoken to the second jury on Tuesday.

Porter's process has been postponed in the next month. He is now charged with manipulation of a juror in connection with the incident.
