Court Won't Clear Tucker's Name

Former Arkansas governor Jim Guy Tucker lost a court bid Tuesday
to set aside the fraud conviction for which he had already served
his time.
According to an Associated Press report:
A federal appeals court rejected Tucker's contention that a
juror was biased in the 1996 trial in which he was convicted
along with former President Bill Clinton's Whitewater business
partners James and Susan McDougal.
Because Tucker completed serving the sentence of 18 months under
house arrest, his appeal was an attempt to get a court to clear
his name.
Tucker charged that juror Renee Johnson was biased, due to her
marriage to Charles Hayes a week into the trial.
As governor, Tucker had denied clemency for a 40-year drug
conviction to Hayes, whose uncle had distributed crude political
fliers ridiculing Tucker.
The juror failed to list her new husband on a juror
questionnaire that asked about criminal cases involving family
members.
The 8th United States Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis
ruled she had not necessarily been dishonest when she said she
did not consider Hayes a relative until they married, even though
she had lived with him and their child for years.
