A DC trial was wrapping up when jurors made a discovery that shocked the courtroom

Jurors shockingly found a Chinese yuan bill and a suspicious white powder in pockets of clothing evidence while deliberating — items that investigators and lawyers had missed.
The judge called each juror into court, told them the items weren't admitted evidence, and asked if they could ignore the discoveries; the jurors said they could.
The panel still convicted the defendant on 13 counts (but deadlocked on others), a verdict that likely triggers a roughly 31‑year mandatory minimum sentence.
