This article was published on msnbc.com by Associated Press on October 18, 2010. The FBI were involved in this investigation (mainly because it has to do with threats of bombing).
"The trial featured 13 days of testimony by undercover informant Shahed Hussain, who met Cromitie at a mosque north of New York City. Prosecutors also relied on hundreds of hours of video and audiotape of the men discussing the scheme at the informant's home, handling fake weapons -- even praying together."
"Jurors deliberated for more than a week. A judge denied a request for a mistrial last week after a juror came across a document in an evidence binder that shouldn't have been there. The juror was dismissed."
What are the processes that the jury went through?
Do you think it was fair that the judge denied a request for a mistrial after a juror came across a document in an evidence binder?
What would you have done if you were that Judge and presented with that dilemma?
