Abstract
The US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled, in DeLisle v. Rivers, that a federal district court correctly went ahead with a criminal defendant's trial even though five jurors had heard an inadmissible confession. Lawrence DeLisle was convicted in Michigan in 1990 of murdering his four children and of attempting to murder his wife. The Court found that DeLisle failed to produce any evidence of actual juror hostility toward him.
