Another Peterson Juror Gone

Court TV is reporting that another juror (a lawyer no less) has been removed by the judge.

The new juror has sat on a criminal jury which found a defendant not guilty.

Yeesh! There must be some tuly interesting things going on behind closed doors. If there is a finding of guilt the appeal is going to be 300 pages long. Removing two jurors on subsequent days? If a conviction occurs it will look a lot like a shaped verdict.

On the other hand, everyone on Court TV seems to be of the opinion that the jury now has at least a sizeable minority for acquital.
