VS.          NO. 8:09CR572-T-30TGW MARK ANTHONY MYRIE

SUPPLEMENT TO SECOND AMENDED RENEWED MOTION
FOR ORDER FINDING JURY MISCONDUCT
AND THE GRANTING OF A NEW TRIAL

COMES NOW the Defendant, Mark Anthony Myrie, hereinafter ("Myrie"), through counsels, and files this Supplement to Second Amended Renewed Motion For Order Finding Jury Misconduct And The Granting Of A New Trial and shows the Court as follows:

  1. Myrie contends, in his Second Amended Renewed Motion For Order Finding Jury Misconduct and The Granting of A New Trial, that juror Terri Wright, hereinafter "Wright", did not provide, as ordered by the Court, the computer hard drive, she did her Internet research on after the trial when it was still fresh in her mind, as she testified in Court to at the December 20, 2012 hearing,
  2. In a newspaper article, attached hereto as Exhibit "1", Wright's attorney, Lori Palmieri, is quoted in a March 26, 2013 Tampa Bay Times news article as saying about her client: "[S]he only had one computer, it was a laptop, and she brought it. In my opinion, end of story, but not in their story."
    1. Also attached hereto as Exhibit "2" is the March 28, 2013 Supplemental Case Report of Myrie's Computer Forensic Expert Larry Daniel. Daniel examined the

hard drive provided by Wright per the Court's order. Daniel states in part in his supplemental case report that "[T]he hard drive delivered to me for forensic imaging was a full size hard drive from a desktop or tower computer."

4. The obvious conclusion from this conflict in facts is that Wright did not produce her lone laptop computer hard drive and instead provided the Court with some other desktop hard drive. This explains why the computer hard drive Wright provided had no internet use during the time period in question though Wright told the Court she did her research after the trial while the issues were fresh on her mind,

This the 31st day of March 2013.

Respectfully submitted

MARK ANTHONY MYRIE

Search of Banton juror's computer finds no trait of misconduct

Tuesday, March 26, 2013 3;06pm

TAMPA — Lawyers for imprisoned reggae star Buju Banton had an expert search juror Tern Wright's computer this month to see if she read up on him while hearing his 2011 drug case.

While the expert found a trail of 1.6 million Internet history records, none pertained to the time frame under scrutiny: Feb, 14, 2011, to March 8, 2011, dates that include the trial and the two weeks that followed.

On Monday, the Banton side renewed its attack, claiming she surrendered the wrong device. Not so, said her attorney, Lori Palmieri, on Tuesday,

"She only had one computer; it was a laptop, and she brought it. In my opinion, end of story, but not in their story.

Banton, whose real name is Mark Anthony Myrie, was convicted Of trying to set up a deal to buy ii pounds of cocaine and sentenced to io years in prison.

His lawyers want a new trial.
