Code says "Now it's a very difficult time where we have to discharge two of you."
Fourteen people have sat on the jury since Oct. 23. Only 12 will deliberate on the verdict, two were here as alternates (for example, if someone got sick or had a death in the family and had to withdraw from the jury).
Code says it seems harsh but tells the jury, "You have provided us with the security for the last six to eight weeks of knowing that when the jury retires, the jury will retire as 12."
The court registrar now draws two numbers, she's pulling it from a box after a thorough shaking.
