How 80-year-old crosswording juror caused a mistrial in Florida Home depot murder case
Fox News
After more than five hours of deliberations, a Florida judge declared a mistrial because of problems with a juror who was reportedly working on crossword puzzles during the murder trial.
"A particular juror has not treated this case during the evidence with the seriousness that they should have, that has apparently continued during deliberations," Judge Coleman Robinson told WKRG.
The problems reportedly began when juror Sallie Sue Smith was caught with a crossword puzzle during testimony, according to WEAR News 3.
