He admitted that at first he first lied to investigators and claimed he did not know who the shooter was. The defense tried to convince the jury through implication, that Joseph was also armed and that he could have fired the shot that severely injured Sampson. There were a number of corroborated stories that when they came together to, to show that he didn't have any sort of weapon on him," said the juror.
Another juror says that the jury wrestled with Joseph's credibility, but said his testimony was corroborated by other evidence in the case. Mosby's motion for a new trial criticizes the jury for convicting him on the evidence the state presented. One of the jurors said he's not at all fazed by that; he stands by the verdict. He said the jurors were very thorough in their deliberations. Natalie Jackson, attorney for Sampson's family, says that they have full faith and confidence in the prosecutors in the case.

Tyrone Mosby was arrested in August and accused of pulling the trigger in a shootout that hit a high-school girl leaving her with severe brain damage.
Testimony in his trial began Tuesday and whether or not Mosby is sentenced to life in prison, will hinge on the testimony of a convicted felon. The convicted felon is Chester Joseph, the owner of the home Mosby was robbing that night.
He stated Mosby fired several shots at him as he fled in a dark colored SUV. Joseph gave chase down Powers Drive in Orlando, which is where Mosby, according to Joseph, again fired shots. Spall said he was only in the hallway for five minutes and discussed extra security due to gang affiliations, lunch and that he asked Kirkland to text or call if she needed them. When Kirkland took the stand, she said she led the deputies to the hallway to talk with them away from the media and Sampson's family.
She said they did not hear any other conversations and were not anywhere near the jury. She went on to say they didn't see or hear the jury and that there were three fire doors between where she and the other deputies were and where the jury was. Rick Vanek, who was stationed just outside the jury room the day of the verdict, testified Thursday he never heard or saw the conversation held by the five deputies.
Vanek said he only saw the person who brought lunch came back. He said the jury never left the room and he never heard anything. The judge eventually ruled there was no evidence that the jury every heard or saw anything. And according to WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer, not only did the judge's knowledge of the hallways and doors that lead to the jury room influence the decision, but it will also carry weight with an appeals court should Mosby file an appeal. Another hearing is set for May 3 to deal with the issue of evidence being withheld from the defense during the trial.
