Al Capone did Valentine's Day better than this...

From Slate's daily news summary:

The NYT is alone in pointing out a strange scene that took place in the courtroom yesterday when all but one of the jurors wore "red T-shirts with a white valentine heart over their clothes." The paper says the judge became "visibly anxious" as one juror rose to speak and wished a happy Valentine's Day to those in the court. (Slate's John Dickerson says this could be good news for Libby).

WTF?

A follow up to this coverage:

A juror was dismissed from the trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby yesterday because she came into contact with information about the case over the weekend. The judge allowed the jury to continue deliberations with 11 members. The dismissed juror was the one who gained some notoriety after she was the only one who didn't wear a red shirt marked with white hearts on Valentine's Day.
