JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A juror was dismissed Saturday in the murder trial of a man accused of shooting a teenager during an argument over loud music outside a Jacksonville convenience store.
The dismissal followed a column posted online by Jacksonville alternative Folio Weekly that quoted a prospective juror who was not picked because he had previously written for that publication. Richard David Smith III said the juror who was picked had, in private conversations, questioned State Attorney Angela Corey’s competence during jury selection.
