Parish of Orleans
State of Louisiana

Af?davit of Anne Turnbull

Comes now, Anne Tumbull, being duly sworn and does depose and state as follows:

Iu

1, Anne Tumbull, served on thejury of George Toca, in 1985. It was a murder trial at 
Criminal District Court.

1 took jury duty very seriously. It was dif?cult to arrange, being sequestered, as I worked
days and my husband worked nights. and he had to get time off. I was a medical
technologist at the VA. medical center.

The judge seemed to heme quite an attitude with the lawyers, and was always trying to
move things along faster, to Speed the whole thing up.

One important thing that stood out for me was the young girl who was testifying that the
defendant was at the hotel on the night of the shooting. She was Very adamant about it.
in the jury room we had a question about where the motel was that she said they were
staying at. Peeple were talking about the motel being in Kenner somewhere, so they
couldn?t have been there. We got a phone book out that was there in thejury room and
looked up where the motel was, and saw there were two motels. That helped us clear up
the facts, as all the facts had not been given to us on the courtroom. I like to get all the
Facts. and tie up all the ends. We needed to ?nd them out for ourselves.

I recall having concems about the motel staff not telling the truth about not renting to

minors. i wasn't convinced about that either, but we didn?t hear any more evidence about

it, though I Would have liked to.
