"Jean claimed to know nothing about the case going into the trial as an alternate juror. But, after the hung jury he expressed strong opinions.
"I think that was a set up," said Jean referring to the police investigation into Dippolito.
The turning point for him was listening to Mohamed Shihadeh's testimony. Shihadeh was Dippolito's former lover and friend and became Boynton Beach Police Department's confidential informant.
"The way people that it was, it wasn't like a big deal. Like he said when he went to the police station, he didn't tell them she was going to kill her husband. He said she was abused. And after that the next day they called him and changed the whole story," said Jean.
"Oh yeah, I was sitting there watching the videos, I like to make sure I have a good vantage point of the videos when they were being replayed and I was able to observe their body language," said Greg Rosenfeld, Dippolito's other defense attorney.
The judge dismissed Jean and another alternate juror right before the jury got the case. He has mixed feelings about not being able to deliberate.
"I can say yes or no cause
I already knew it would have been like that cause certain people, they don't use their common sense. They just go by what they were shown on the videotape," added Jean.
