Ryan Widmer, convicted in the drowning death of his wife, previously brought a motion for a new trial related to accusations, including others, of juror misconduct. Widmer claimed that he needed more time to prepare for the motion hearing after discovering information last week on facebook pages. He alleges that jurors, and relatives of jurors, posted comments, videos, etc. on facebook prior to and during the trial. Such conduct could result in a mistrial if proven.
The Judge denied Widmer's motion for more time and kept the motion hearing at its currently scheduled time.
