  Introduction to Pro A. Cluentio Habito by Cicero
At Scamander's trial, one juror had voted for acquittal--Staienus, a needy and disreputable senator; and it was to him accordingly that Oppianicus applied, placing a large sum of money in his hands to bribe the bench and secure his acquittal.
When Scamander was prosecuted for having been a party to the alleged attempt on the life of Cluentius, Cicero had appeared on his behalf; and one of his main difficulties in defending Cluentius now was that he had previously committed himself to a quite different version of the facts and circumstances involved in the case.
The verdict brought in against Scamander, and also that recorded against Fabricius soon afterwards, are regarded by Cicero as constituting praeiudicia, or previous decisions, 'prejudicing' the case of Oppianicus, with the circumstances of whose trial we have next to deal.
