LIMA — Jurors in the trial of a Lima woman facing drug and weapons charges reached their verdict fairly swiftly. There were a few bumps in the road before that verdict was ultimately announced.
After deliberating for less than 90 minutes on Tuesday, jurors in the trial of Daysha Lane announced they had reached a verdict. A new wrinkle presented itself, however, when it was reported that one of the 12 jurors might be a shirttail relative of the defendant.
That information was gleaned from a phone call made by Lane to an inmate at the Allen County jail Thursday afternoon, after the jurors had begun their deliberations.
