Justice Minister Simon Power will be briefed today on how one of the country's most notorious killers was able to contact a juror during one of his recent trials, as revealed on ONE News last night.
The Ministry of Justice will meet under urgency after a juror's safety was compromised by the contact.
Baker, already in prison for the killing of teenager Liam Ashley in a prison van, was found guilty this month of kidnap, threatening to kill and assault with a weapon during a hostage siege at Paremoremo.
At his kidnap trial he represented himself and played a part in selecting the jury, which gave him access to their full names, home addresses and occupations.
It's alleged Baker contacted a woman juror after getting her details from jurors' list, exposing a loophole in the system.
