BOULDER — Boulder woman on trial this week for allegedly firing a bullet from her home into her next-door neighbor’s house offered a juror $5,000 to find her not guilty of a weapons charge, according to an arrest affidavit released Thursday.
Darine Chely, who has been on trial in Boulder District Court for the last two days on a felony charge of being in possession of a weapon by a previous offender, placed a note underneath a notebook belonging to an alternate juror during a recess Wednesday, the affidavit states.
“Eric, please don’t find me guilty. I will pay $5,000. I am very frightened. Please don’t give this to anyone,” Chely allegedly wrote.
The juror, identified in the arrest affidavit as Eric Acord, brought the note to the attention of Boulder District Judge James Klein and was dismissed from the panel.
