One of former New York Police Department (NYPD)
Officer Peter Liang's attorneys questioned a juror in court Wednesday
afternoon over his alleged Facebook shares that were critical of police
and about accusations he was untruthful during jury selection when he said no one in his close family had ever been accused of a crime.
Juror 9, 62-year-old Michael Vargas, took the
witness stand before Justice Danny Chun in State Supreme Court in
Brooklyn a week after Liang's attorneys, Paul Shechtman and Gabriel J.
Chin, filed a motion asking for a new trial based on the allegations.
Liang's attorneys wrapped up their questioning of Vargas late Wednesday
afternoon, and prosecutors are expected to cross examine him tomorrow.
Liang's sentencing, originally scheduled for
Thursday, April 14, was postponed until and is expected to take place on
Tuesday, April 19.
