During his child pornography trial, the prosecutor showed the judge and defense counsel a list of words written on a large notepad that described Pendarvis with words like “shy” and “introvert.” Once the defense counsel had indicated it had no objection to the list being shown to the jury, the prosecutor surreptitiously used a pen to alter the word “introvert” so that the jury read it as “pervert.” When Pendarvis’s lawyer complained about the deception, the conviction was reversed.
