ALERTER'S COMMENTS

He says basically talking to this lady is like wrestling with a pig so there is no point. It's just rude to call each other pigs.

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: He is NOT calling her a pig and quit lying in an alert. That is disgusting and shame on you. I felt this was a worthless alert. But, reading the alerters message, I think it should be alerted on. Shame, shame.
