I was channeling through stations yesterday afternoon and came across Al Sharpton - not on his program - talking about this juror. Besides the fact that it was awfully quick for her to get a book deal since no one knew who they were, it seems her husband is an attorney and he is known to one or both of the defense attorneys. There appear to also be other questions regarding how this jury was chosen. I came in to his discussion after is began and may not have all the info, but questions are being raised.
Sharpton suggested that an investigation into all this may be requested in light of what is being learned about her, her husband and his connections and the jury selection in general. This is my understanding of what was said.
