To Demetrius or Not to Demetrius
Blah blah blah Judge Replaces Juror With Alternate in Scott Peterson case.
Instead of listening to the Nancy Graces of the world go on and on about what they think of jurors (jur-arrrs, as she says it), or listening to Larry King talk to JoEllen Demetrius (the famed jury consultant from the OJ Simpson case who worked for the defense in this case) as though she can infer the will of God (if God relies on statistics, then yes, she can), I much prefer Bashman's analysis of the alternate juror:
"The report describes the alternate juror who will be joining deliberations as 'a woman in her 30s who has four boys and nine tattoos.' Jurors who have more tattoos than children are generally viewed as pro-defense."
UPDATE: With the dismissal of the jury foreperson today (Wednesday), Bashman adds:
"No word yet on how many tattoos or children the [sic?] today's replacement juror happens to have."
