George Alex, a construction boss convicted of tax fraud and money laundering, is getting a fresh start after an appeals court overturned his nine-year sentence. The court ruled it was a miscarriage of justice due to shocking jury misconduct: one juror allegedly dug up incriminating online info about Alex’s past—including mafia ties and murder—and even sold drugs to another juror.

Now, Alex and his co-defendants are free on bail and facing a completely new trial—proof that one juror’s chaos can unravel an entire legal case.
