Just an observation. Juror #5 publically stated that she does not want to in any way interfere with the proceedings, that it isn't about her.
But she also have to know that her becoming visible in the courtroom opens her up to the media and could her presence there be considered distracting? Please don't yell at me, I am just asking why she thinks it's important for her to make herself available to the public.
(And also, for Travis's case, it probably was important that she was excused if her comments were biased because in the event of a conviction, if she stayed on as a juror, it would be tremendous for JA in an appeal case.)
