Juror lies about residency, and man convicted of rape and sodomy gets a new trial

A man in Escambia County will receive a new trial on allegations against him for rape and sodomy of a 7-year-old girl.  The man was convicted by a jury.  However, one of the jurors was not truthful about actually being a resident of Florida rather than of Alabama.  As a result, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals has set aside the conviction and ordered a new trial.
