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

Three replaced, and one of those replacements replaced.

We're gonna need scorecards!

Is Arafat still dead, or still not dead?

They are discussing this currently on Court TV.

I do not see this as good news for the prosecution. You have a chick who could not wait to be on the jury. Another let go for doing an experiement, another gone for what ever reason who was both a lawyer and doctor.

It is better then a daily soap. In the end will Peterson receive a fair trial.

There are so many items for the appeals case. wow

I think the total is 3 replacements - remember the guy who was removed before deliberations began?

There was too much publicity of this case from the beginning. Some "news" networks dedicated entire segments to the Peterson trial.

The jury wasn't sequestered and it had to be next to impossible for them to "avoid" digesting bits of information from television, newspapers or overhearing people talking about it.

There's probably very few jurors who were tainted in one way or another, IMO.

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.

Giving the jury system a black eye. Folks wonder why folks do not want to serve.

What a joke this proceeding has become. It sure will be interesting to see if the jurors that were replaced were favorable or unfavorable to Peterson.

Or was this a case of the judge let a juror go that was favorable to Peterson so he had to let one go that was not favorable to him to even the score.

And what is this garbage of letting the jurors get inside the boat and try to rock it while it is on a trailor? What kind of incompetance it this to let this happen?

These media circus trials are always a travesty. The prosecution should never have gone to trial with the evidence that they have presented in this case. They should have waited and built their case.

And what if it is a hung jury or a mistrial, the proscution gets to have another go at it? How many times? And where does a defendant come up with the resources for a second trial? Forget what it cost for the first.

Peterson may very well be guilty, but they have to prove it. That is our system of law. This trial is a travesty.
