OK - it's US v. Schulte CIA #Vault7 leaks trial jury deliberation Day 3. Issue of "rogue" Juror 4 to the fore innercitypress.com/sdnylive24schu… mistrial denied. Inner City Press will live tweet: thread 
Now Juror 5 is a problem, too. There's talk of calling back the alternates. Judge Crotty doesn't want to - it would delay things until Monday. He wants to go forward with 11. All this was in the "robing room." Judge Crotty: Under Rule 23, I permit jury of 11
Judge Crotty: I'm going to call Juror 5 in and excuse her.
AUSA Laroche: I ask that the transcript of the robing room discussion be sealed until after there is a verdict.
Inner City Press says No - may write to Judge Crotty / docket again
