Judge Removes Juror in Scott Peterson Case
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../laci_peterson
We do not know what all went on, but..
It was not immediately clear what the woman did to get kicked off the jury. A source with close knowledge of the case told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity she had apparently disobeyed the judge's orders to consider only the evidence presented at the trial.
"You must decide all questions of fact in this case from the evidence received in this trial and not from any other resource," the judge said.
Wouldnt you want to see all the evidence not just part of it? Am I missing something?I am back....

This means that she based her decision of information gained from outside of the court such as news reports or interviews. The jurors are to base thier decision on the information provided in the trial.

That is one of the problems with this case, the lack of physical evidence.

It is not perfect, but that is our system.

Here, the only evidence we have is that he is a total player.
The last iem i checked, being a player wasn't against the law.

Right Anjay
I am not sure who Scott Peterson is, but if you are a juror, you only base your verdict on what is presented in court.
I am not sure of the US system, but when I was on a case a couple of years ago, I had the excuse to not serve:
I. If I personally knew the accused, any witnesses, family members or friends of the accused.
2.If the evidence presented might make me feel uncomfortable and cause a wrong verdict. For example, if I was rape victim and the case was for rape.
