They said on O Reilly that a mistrial can only be declared on that IF they can prove that one of the jurors listened to the TV or read press reports. As O Reilly noted how can the help it. it is all over that area.

This trial should be turned over to another judge

I believe I read or heard he told the jurors that they could go to "work" next week..just imagine the contamination there....

Incredible..

Every Juror should be told they will have to sign a paper under oath verifying they did not break the order of the court..a lie would be subject to prosecution .

Then do it!

Why would a carpet fiber sample only be submitted from Danielle's room?

Why not the rest of the VD house..He had to walk thru the house and up the stairs and in the hallway..spending more time on that carpet than in her room actually....so why not submit a house sample in hopes that that fiber would show up in his stuff?

Boy, I agree. It's nearly impossible for jurors to not be influenced and then days pass while they may be making decisions or drawing conclusions based on media, not trial facts. Very bothersome !!!!!!

Wow, can you just imagine going over to check out a house that one of the juror's lives in and finding all the blinds CLOSED...? Gee, wonder what they might be watching on TV? grins...sw

I believe the jurors have been going to work all along when they are not needed at the courthouse, like on Fridays when the trial is not in session.
