On June 2 a woman drove up to a sitting juror's home in suburban Minneapolis and dropped off a bag of $120,000 in cash and left her a message, "there will be another bag for her if she votes to acquit." The juror was not home at the time and reported the incident to the police. The federal judge presiding over the trial discharged the juror, rightfully so. She would have been afraid of the consequences of her vote either way. The trial involves 7 defendants charged with stealing $41 million from government programs intended to feed children. Anyone in her neighborhood got video?
