Judge ponders mistrial after jury enhanced video to convict
Jury enhances video in murder case

Judge David F. Rees from Multnomah County Circuit Court is examining arguments regarding a convicted murderer’s request for a new trial. The individual claims that the jury tampered with surveillance video footage during the trial.

Lawyers for a convicted murderer want an Oregon judge to throw out their client’s guilty verdict after a juror came forward saying the jury enhanced video footage in order to come to its decision.

The jury on Oct. 30 convicted Colby Benson of second-degree murder in the September 2020 shooting death of Christopher Klein in Portland. Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge David F. Rees sentenced Benson, 40, to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
