The trial continues, in the deliberations phase.
Mary Katharine Ham notes:
One juror has been dismissed for receiving outside information about the trial, but deliberations continue with 11.
Huh?
I had to comment:
What? No alternate jurors?
And:
From the linked article, I see an alternate juror is available, but the judge elected not to force deliberations to start over from the beginning.
Weird.
I'll be interested to hear why deliberating with fewer than 12 juroris is not itself grounds for a mistrial.
