Back to square one

The judge presiding over the Scott Peterson double-murder trial has announced that one of the jurors has been replaced by an alternate, meaning deliberations must start anew

Juror #5 gone

Oh lord, please tell me #5 was Fox's last embedded reporter.

More non-news when Gretta returns at the top of the hour ...

[dougherty]

Make it stop! Please... make it stop...

This media circus is from the Twilight Zone: it's never going to stop! This trial will go on FOREVER. FOX will be broadcasting news alerts on this case when we're all dead and gone

[Fitzcarraldo]

Are those volunteers still searching for Scott's anchors at the bottom of the bay?

Judge Removes Foreman From Peterson Jury

Judge in Scott Peterson Trial Removes Foreman From Jury a Day After Second Juror Dismissed

Journalists look at a boat near a Redwood City, Calif., courthouse Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2004 that is similar to the boat Scott Peterson used in the San Francisco Bay on Dec. 24, 2002 that Peterson says he went fishing on. Defense attorney Mark Geragos used this similar boat to conduct experiments on dumping Laci Peterson's body into the Bay. Peterson is the Modesto, Calif., man who could face the death penalty for the deaths of his wife, Laci Peterson and their unborn son. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)

The judge in the Scott Peterson murder trial removed the foreman from the jury Wednesday, the second time in two days a juror has been removed from the panel.

The judge did not disclose why he dismissed juror No. 5., a man in his mid 40s who has both medical and law degrees.

I agree with you on Gretta... Why is her show even on. They have to come up with a better show at 9:00 Central TZ on FN

[prairiebreeze]

When this trial is finally "decided" we can all rest assured that the media will promptly turn it's attention to.....Michael Jackson.

Blech! We'll be wishin' we had Snot Peterson back.

And one of the jurors has surgery scheduled for Friday & will have to be replaced--unless she's been replaced already.

They're running out of alternates.

[ClintonBeGone]

So, that's what? Two jurors replaced so far? What are these people doing?

I would like to hear from those dismissed. I wonder about the constitutionality of a gag order on a juror who is no longer part of the trial. Seems to go against everything this country was founded on.

[daylate-dollarshort]

The next headline will be...

Scott Walks !!

[patriciamary]

That is FUNNY!

[JFC]

I say come to a conclusion. This is just what Scott P's lawyers..... so let him off. Let him KILL again, and prooves what a joke trials are anymore.

"This media circus is from the Twilight Zone: it's never going to stop! This trial will go on FOREVER. FOX will be broadcasting news alerts on this case when we're all dead and gone"

Amen. I can't tell you how much I hate Greta's show... The Scott Peterson Hour. What a total waste of satellite bandwidth.

[CurlyDave]

I do not see how a guilty verdict could possibly be sustained on appeal. Dismissing one juror during deliberations is very rare. Dismissing a second one has got to be way off the charts.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

The MD/Lawyer was probably too dang smart to be able to figure out that Scott was guilty.

I'm thinking it was the other way around. The others were too dang stupid to figure out that Scott was guilty. But, on second thought, he was a lawyer, so you may be right. Lawyers love to obfuscate the truth.

[spectre]

Thanks Chick.

It's turning into a real mess with no good end in sight. Poor Laci's family.

How did that guy even get on the jury? You would have thought one side or the other would have had him stricken from the jury pool.

[OXENinFLA]

What make me sick about all this coverage is I know there are a whole lot of other murder cases going on in this country and the press only focuses on this one day after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Centaur]

Sounds like a run-away jury...all ganging up on the dissenters to get them eliminated.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I do not see how a guilty verdict could possibly be sustained on appeal.

new evidence can always be introduced
