Source: Peterson jury foreman wanted to be taken off panel
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (Court TV) — The foreman dismissed from the jury deliberating murder charges against Scott Peterson Wednesday asked to be removed from the panel, a source close to the case told Court TV anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom.
"This juror wanted off the case," Guilfoyle Newsom reported Thursday.
The panelist, identified as Gregory Jackson, 46, quit the jury after his fellow jurors said they wanted another panelist to lead them, the source told Guilfoyle Newsom.
"He was removed as the foreperson and then decided he wanted off the case," Guilfoyle Newsom said.
Story continues ......
The courthouse was closed Thursday because of the Veteran's Day holiday and jurors remained in sequestration at their hotel. The panel is not permitted to discuss the case except in the jury room........

Jackie left the courtroom briefly before the verdict but returned..No emotion from Scott..
Gee, do you think Justin will be invited back on all these shows to explain why he's right and these 12 are wrong? Somehow I think the cables will all avoid Justin like the plague. Too bad, I'd like the dunce to be held up to ridicule. And they should be ashamed for giving him a platform to speak out when he had nothing to contribute except idle gossip and a display of his low IQ.
Penalty phase hearings begin Thanksgiving week--they're off next week and they'll be in court Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, home for Thanksgiving weekend and back to court the next Monday.
