YOUNGSTOWN — Juror misconduct has caused the Robert L. Moore murder trial to be postponed again.

Lou DeFabio, defense attorney, informed Judge Maureen Sweeney of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court after lunch today that he was informed of remarks made by a potential juror at lunch at a downtown restaurant to another potential juror that the juror should not have made.

The remarks were heard by other potential jurors also, DeFabio said.

Sweeney agreed the remarks are juror misconduct and agreed to declare a mistrial because of the remarks.

It is about the seventh time the case has been postponed. Juror misconduct has occurred multiple times, but there also have been issues with illness and personal family matters involving attorneys in the case, as well as last-minute issues involving a witness.

Moore, 54, of Alliance, is charged with murder in the 2009 disappearance and presumed murder of Glenna J. White, 16 of Alliance. Glenna disappeared after leaving a home in Smith Township near Sebring and Alliance.
