Here’s what you need to know:
Big news: Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed Juror #6 this morning, saying he had “concerns about his candor and whether he shaded answers to get on and stay on the panel.” The defense made a last-ditch appeal to keep the juror on the panel, filing a 14-page letter yesterday arguing there wasn’t a valid basis to toss him, and that doing so would be discriminatory.
Juror #6, a 41-year-old Black man, will be replaced by an alternate, a 57-year-old white man who lives in Westchester County.
