U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian officially dismissed the man in question over “concerns about his candor and whether he shaded answers to get on and stay on the panel.”
Apparently, according to NBC News, it was unclear whether the man lived in New York City, where the trial is taking place, or in New Jersey with his girlfriend.
The juror in question is “a 41-year-old Black male who works in communications at a correctional facility.” He’s now being replaced with a “57-year-old accountant from Westchester County.”
Another juror will face questions today over a conversation he may have allegedly had with a colleague. This juror handed over his phone to the judge.
