The county prosecutor's office says it found no evidence that Mike Tyson's rape trial was fixed.
The 12 anonymous jurors and three alternates were interviewed by prosecutors after a lawyer claimed to have overheard a juror telling other people at a gym that the guilty verdict was "rigged.""We uncovered no evidence of any improper conduct by or towards any juror," Rob Smith, a spokesman for Marion County Prosecutor Jeffrey Modisett, said Wednesday. Smith said the juror denied making the comment.
Tyson was found guilty Feb. 10 of raping a Miss Black America contestant in his hotel room. The charges against the former heavyweight champ carry up to 60 years in prison, but similar cases have brought sentences of 12 years of less.
Sentencing is scheduled for March 26.
