Defendant could have concealed all of the weapons under his trench coat. I walked over to Judge Riley and asked him to not talk to the jurors while they were looking at the exhibits. He got mad, pointed toward the door, and indicated that I should leave the courtroom. I left the building. Hunsicker Affidavit ¶ 3. In addition, during an interview by Chief Judge Gilbert regarding Judge Rile/s actions, Hunsicker advised Chief Judge Gilbert that “as the jury was viewing the evidence!,] Judge Riley was going around the table commenting on the evidence while the jury viewed it.” Therefore, Davis has offered more than mere speculation in support of his claim that an ex parte communication occurred between Judge Riley and the jury. See United States v. Davis, 15 F.3d 1393, 1412 (7th Cir.1994)(<HOLDING>). The Court is not persuaded by Court Security
holding that a defendants mere allegations of taint or his unsubstantiated suspicions do not necessitate inquiry by the court holding that defendants mere allegations of ineffective assistance were insufficient to prevail on such a claim holding that broad allegations of harm unsubstantiated by specific examples or articulated reasoning do not satisfy the rule 26c test holding that when the appellate record consists largely of unsubstantiated allegations without affidavits from defense counsel or the defendant it is not adequately developed holding that a plaintiff may present unsubstantiated factual allegations on appeal provided they are consistent with the complaint to show that the complaint should not have been dismissed
