Juror in Warren Jeffs trial replaced
"ST. GEORGE, Utah — A juror in the trial of polygamous leader Warren Jeffs was replaced Tuesday and the panel was told to start deliberations from scratch, a day after it had announced it was close to a verdict.
Fifth District Judge James Shuter instructed the jury to begin deliberations again after excusing a female juror and replacing her with a female alternate in Jeffs' trial on two counts of rape as an accomplice.
The surprise announcement came on Tuesday, one day after the jury said it was deadlocked. After the judge told the panel to go back to work, jurors said they believed they were close to a verdict, but wanted to sleep on it."
