A juror who helped convict four defendants in a 10-year tax shelter scheme said she lied about her background to make herself “more marketable” to serve on the panel.
Catherine Conrad, who was Juror No. 1 in the trial of Paul Daugerdas, a former lawyer at the defunct law firm Jenkens & Gilchrist, and three others, testified in a hearing in Manhattan federal court today that she failed to disclose that she’s an alcoholic and a suspended attorney with numerous arrests for crimes including shoplifting and driving under the influence of alcohol.
