Vanity Fair writer kicked off jury in murder trial for social media post on ‘hot FBI agent’
NY Post
A Vanity Fair reporter was booted from the jury in a federal murder-for-hire trial after she posted an item on the social media platform X about a “hot FBI agent” who was working the case.
Delia Cai confirmed on her X account that she was removed from the Brooklyn jury in the case against Antony Abreu, a convicted drug trafficker from Queens who allegedly killed a man in 2019 as part of a hit ordered by a Manhattan real estate developer.
Cai wrote in a now-deleted X post on Monday: “didn’t get to see the eclipse bc I’m on federal jury duty but I did get to look at a hot fbi agent.”
The news of Cai’s dismissal from the jury was first reported by the New York Daily News.
In a follow-up post, she wrote: “we’re literally not allowed to talk to each other outside the courtroom … if I say hi he legally has to ignore me… don’t they know this is how I fall in love.”
US District Judge Carol Bagley Amon reprimanded Cai and removed her from the case on Tuesday. Cai subsequently apologized.
