50. Bookdeal juror?

Tue Jul 16, 2013, 07:14 AM

Jul 2013

Channeling through stations I stopped to hear Al Sharpton in the middle of a conversation about the juror who now has a book deal. Heard about that a few days ago. Apparently this has raised eyebrows since no one was supposed to know who the jurors were. Question is, how did someone with a book deal get to her so quickly if no one knew the identity of these women?
He went on to say that this book deal juror is married to a lawyer, who knows one (or both) of the defense attorneys.
According to Sharpton, an investigation is now in the process of being asked for regarding this juror and her possible connection to the defense, and the jury selection process for this case as a whole.
I didn't hear the beginning of this conversation, so I apologize if I got any of this wrong. The big picture, however, is that questions about this jury are not being raised.
