Hidden Evidence Unearthed During DC Robbery Trial, Yet Jury Convicts
During a monthlong federal trial over a string of 2023 armed robberies and a carjacking in the Washington, D.C., area, jurors found a Chinese yuan and a white powder in evidence that prosecutors and investigators hadn’t disclosed. The judge admonished the lapse and instructed jurors to disregard the items, but Joyner was later convicted on 13 counts and faces a 31-year mandatory minimum after a partial verdict left 15 counts unresolved.
