Jury deliberations were disrupted when a juror was excused and replaced with an alternate, requiring the panel to restart deliberations from scratch. Judge Fujisaki denied a sequestration request but imposed media restrictions over the weekend. Most alarmingly, sealed proceedings information was leaking to the press almost instantly, with reporters even appearing at a dismissed juror's daughter's home shortly after her name appeared in sealed documentation, prompting the judge to issue stern warnings and threaten punitive consequences.
