Meechaiel Criner was given an automatic life sentence for the 2016 murder of Haruka Weiser on the UT campus. But his attorneys are calling the guilty verdict into question, citing a reported admission of a member of the jury who says he looked up the case on the Internet and also researched how best to reach a verdict while sitting on a jury.
So his attorney’s will file a motion tomorrow for a retrial, which means that if a judge decides to grant that motion, there is the possibility that Criner could eventually walk out of jail a free man.
