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........
lol beat me to it .....being announced at 1 Pac time....it would seem the jury chased the dissenters away and got a unaminous verdict
Verdict 4 pm eastern
KG-N was talking with a guest earlier that they both had heard there was 11-1 guilty before they got rid of 2nd #5.
I'm shaking -- and praying.

Me too
Hope Scottie brought a change of underwear !!!!!
I feel that it has to be guilty, otherwise I think they would have hung; no way they could all feel not guilty. Any thoughts?
I have faith!..Audio feed going to come out of courtroom.
If I weren't superstitious, I would agree with you. ;-)

I think it's definately guilty b/c the Judge would not allow them to be hung so early...they just got together.
VERDICT at 4:00 P.M.!
I hope you are right! Sounds like a reasonable conclusion.
I too am shaking - will be counting the minutes till 4pm.
So I heard this morning!! Don't believe it tho. I still think the guy was violating his jury oath all through the trial.
Its Bush's fault ...in the 1st degree
Verdict already?
4:00PM your time?
The new thread is full of complainers..Let's stay here!
This is so quick.
I can't remember if that's good or bad.
It can cut either way.
May God be with the Rochas and Laci's loved ones.
Amen to that.
They have endured so much already.
I am still hopeful that it will be guilty.
My youngest daughter now has her birthday lunch delayed as we all sit glued to court t.v.
13 minutes and counting..
My exact thoughts.
I'm sort of scared Meg.
Maybe after such a long trial,
there's little need to rehash
the evidence, unless a jury were
looking to acquit.
