Doug Dowie wants a new trial

Doug Dowie, ex-Daily News editor-turned-PR-exec, who's neck-deep in hot water and now a convicted felon over his ex-firm Fleishman- Hillard's DWP contractwants a new trial, according to L.A. Observed:

Dowie's argument for a new trial cites as grounds that the jury was inadequately charged, that one juror may have had a prior connection to government witness Monique Moret, that Dowie was barred from introducing a polygraph exam and, among other points, that the evidence was not sufficient to find him guilty.
