Ex-Officer Accused of Juror Tampering in Employee's Lawsuit

By ALM Staff | Law Journal Newsletters |
July 30, 2004

A former modeling agency executive has been arrested on charges that she tampered with a jury in an unusual civil suit over cigarette smoke in the workplace. The executive, Mary Ann D'Angelico, voluntarily surrendered to authorities last month. She is accused of speaking to a juror in a courthouse restroom in an attempt to influence the multi-million-dollar lawsuit by a former employee. Ms. D'Angelico faces up to 1 year in prison if convicted of the Class A misdemeanor. Her attorney, Daniel J. Horwitz, a partner at Carter Ledyard & Milburn, said she would fight the charge.

“We feel that the charge is not warranted, and we will vigorously challenge the allegations at trial,” he said.
