palm print was not left in blood as detectives had reported. It could have been left on the bedroom
wall months earlier.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/08/07/lewis_case.ART_ART_08-07-09_A1_7OEN0DJ.html">Lewis' attorney, Adam Nemann, said most jurors in his trial weren't convinced of his guilt,
either. A juror told him they were leaning 9-3 to acquit Lewis before a mistrial was declared. That
trial ended March 19 because a juror was excused for a death in the family and the alternate jurors
had already been dismissed by the judge.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/08/07/lewis_case.ART_ART_08-07-09_A1_7OEN0DJ.html">The palm print - described by investigators as 1 inch by 1 inch - was never tested for blood.
