Breaking News...


Recommended Posts

A courthouse source, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said that Juror No. 4 had received a threatening or coercive letter within the past 24 hours.

Juror No. 4 became the subject of intense media scrutiny last week after some news organizations reported she made an "OK" gesture toward the defense as she passed in front of lawyers. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post named the juror.

Defense lawyers repeatedly asked for a mistrial, saying the juror -- an apparent holdout for acquittal -- was being pressured by the media and possibly by other jurors to change her position.

...fortunately there was this as well...

The mistral raises the possibility of a retrial for former Tyco CEO L. Dennis Kozlowski and the company's ex-chief financial officer, Mark Swartz.

...but this was not a good thing anyway you slice it...

I think they will definitely go for a retrial and they're saying that actually might benefit the prosecution because "it gives them a chance to learn from their mistakes and refine their case"

For some reason, im thinking Koslowski had someone send that threatening note to the juror, knowing that a mistrial would occur should such event happen...

Just like that John Grisham book. Could reality be mimicking fiction :confused:
