CNN: Peterson juror dismissed, replaced with alternate

REDWOOD CITY, California (CNN) -- A juror has been dismissed from the Scott Peterson double murder trial and has been replaced by an alternate.

After completing four days of deliberations, the jury now must begin anew. No reason for the move was announced.

But earlier Tuesday, the judge in the trial held a hearing over possible juror misconduct. Attorneys from both sides discussed the matter in the judge's chambers, CNN's Rusty Dornin reported.

The controversy stems from a report that one juror may have conducted research on the case.

Sources told CNN that the dismissed individual was juror No. 7, described by CourtTV.com as an Asian woman who appeared to be in her 50s.

"He look like - a man."

3. Looks like trouble to me

The come-hither tilt of the head, the beefy forearms.

It's all a little confusing.

4. I swear to god...

My former hairdresser looks *exactly* like that character, down to the way of speaking and apron. Once she screwed up my hair color, I changed hairdressers, but I did have to supress giggles at the time.

7. Isn't it ironic that the fate of Western Civilization hangs in the balance

and the news stations devote most of their time to the Laci Peterson case?

9. I believe it enables additional murder charges to be brought against

someone who kills a pregnant woman. The defendent can be charged with multiple murders (the fetus or fetuses and the woman). I believe it is designed to give fetuses rights in order to eventually cause abortion to be outlawed.

10. "Laci's law" refers the fact that Scott has also been charged

with the murder of the fetus.
