Raj Rajaratnam Jury Restarts

The jury has restarted to discuss whether Raj Rajaratnam is guilty or not, after one of the original jurors was dismissed for medical reasons, writes Bloomberg.

The jury is now eight women and four men, and the replacement juror is a a 39-year-old employee of the Westchester, New York, parks department.

“The law requires you to base your verdict solely upon the evidence,” U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell told the jury in the courtroom today. “The verdict must represent the verdict of each juror, including the new juror that's been seated.”

The juror who is leaving, is a 70-year-old retired bookkeeper from Manhattan.
