Judge Charlaine Olmedo expressed her concerns about jurors being contacted by Masterson's defense team, referring attorneys to state regulatory bodies for disciplinary investigations.
Olmedo noted that jurors experienced unwanted contact at home or work and questioned how identifying information was obtained after sealing it post-trial.
Multhaup admitted to the court that his investigator had contacted jurors but insisted it complied with state law, a claim Judge Olmedo disputed.
Judge Olmedo emphasized that jurors have an 'absolute right' not to cooperate with defense efforts and criticized direct contact at their homes.
