What a circus: Female Juror Flirts With John Edwards

[cali]

<snip>

After a week of deliberations, the four alternate jurors have become the prime distraction for the assembled press corps and spectators in the courtroom.

On Thursday the alternates – three women and one man – caused something of a stir when they showed up in matching bright yellow shirts, hardly bothering to suppress their snickering as the judge addressed the main panel of jurors.

Since the alternates were identified last Thursday, it has been impossible to ignore the dynamic between Edwards and one of the female alternates, an attractive young woman with jet-black hair, who seems to have been flirting with Edwards for days.

The juror clearly instigated the exchanges. She smiles at him. He smiles at her. She giggles. He blushes.

The flirtation has become so obvious that even Edwards’ attorneys have to work to suppress their laughter at the absurdity of it all.

I wonder if this is actually happening.

1. If this is the case she should be thrown out.

3. IIRC, two jurors were dismissed for sleeping during court.

If there are already 4 alternates serving, then they are probably running out or jurors.

(PS. The judge fell asleep during the trial also.)

4. Lol!

If you hear laughter coming from the jury room, it's a good sign for the defendant. Too bad these alternates aren't in there.
