The Independent reported:
“Tuesday’s proceedings got off to a hot start with Judge Arun Subramanian scolding both the defense and prosecution after an article was published with information that was under seal. He warned both sides that they could face consequences if they continued.”

‘There is nothing the juror can say at this point that can put the genie back in the bottle and repair his credibility.’ Judge Subramanian
Yesterday, ‘Juror 6’ was dismissed for lying during ‘voir dire’ to enter the panel.
Now, there’s another issue with the fate of another juror, ‘who might have spoken improperly about the case’.
The prosecution is set to wrap up its case by Wednesday.
Fox News reported:
“In a letter filed by the government on Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office noted it does not oppose additional fact-finding with a second juror due to possible communications with a former colleague regarding jury service.”
The defense argues that, since the court removed ‘6’ from the case, this second juror should also be excused.
Prosecution disagrees with ‘linking the issues’, but are open to further questioning of the second juror.
