Evidently that's an option---it depends what this juror did and if it was shared with the jury, I guess.
Oh, my Court TV is LIVE (that is rare) and Beth Karas says everyone is at lunch and this brouhaha might be over.
Maybe the judge has heard what he needs and will issue a ruling or he heard enough and ruled already in chambers. Stay tuned.
Lunchbreak....good, I can get the laundry done!
