What is going on with the Tyco trial???

I was hoping that someone could help me out with this one.

I think I am as confused as the jurors on this one, especially after seeing in the news on Friday ( or was it Saturday) that some of the jurors seem to have their minds made up about the guilt of Dennis Kozlowski (sp???) before even hearing all of the evidence.

I personally think that the man is pretty slimy, but I though he was innocent until the evidence proved him guilty????

Is it me, or am I just too much of an idealogue.

This what I last read, on Fri.................






Jury squabbling at Tyco trial.



Panel calls deliberations 'poisonous,' one juror feels persecuted; judge asks them to soldier on.


Jury deliberations in the Tyco corruption trial erupted in acrimony Thursday, raising the possibility that the panel may fail to reach a verdict in the nearly six-month long trial.

I guess a lot of what I was hearing was about the one juror who basically had made up her mind prior to the trial that Kozlowski was not guilty.

If she cant come to a fair judgement, release her and use an alternate then....it seems like she has been biased since the beginning in reading about the trial.

I don't understand how she could get away with a thumbs up sign to the defendents. They have rules up the wazoo about communicating with lawyers, defendents, plaintiffs, judges, etc. Wear your badges at all times even or especially at lunch or outside the building, don't try any investigatigating on your own, don't discuss a case among yourselves until you're told you can deliberate, etc. Of course, they do let you go to the bathroom and you get an hour and a half for lunch. How kind. Where's the raspberry sign when you need it?

Thank you for that info. I've been gone all day. No access to news where I was. I'm suffering withdrawal. Do you think there will be a retrial? Would it be worth the added expense? I'll be listening later to CNN and my local news, maybe they'll have something more.
