MONROVIA — The evidence behind the arrests is, by the standards of these things, unusually solid. This wasn’t a case of rumor or suspicion. Investigators had phone records from Orange Liberia and Lonestar MTN placing calls and texts inside the jury quarters during sequestration — exactly what jurors are told, in plain terms, not to do. According to the judge’s ruling, they had a recorded phone call in which juror George Dennis can be heard admitting that jurors met and agreed among themselves to deny, uniformly, that any phone had ever been in the room. And they had corroborating testimony from three jurors who broke ranks and said, under oath, that the denials were false.
