CNN: Libby juror exposed to outside information.

Just now on CNN:

[UPDATE: AP is reporting that the judge has dismissed the juror, but that there will not be a mistrial. Firedoglake is live-blogging from the courthouse.]

CNN: We are learning that all the parties in the Scooter Libby trial have been summoned to the courtroom. We want to get to Brian Todd now for the latest. I know you are outside that courtroom. Why are they being asked to come inside? Do they have a verdict now?

BRIAN TODD: They don’t have a verdict. We were just in the courtroom a moment ago and the judge informed all of us that one of the jurors has been exposed to information about the case outside the courtroom. The judge said he had to talk to the jury foreperson and that is what he is doing right now. As soon as he told us that, he said he had to talk to the jury foreperson to determine the extent of that information that that juror got outside the courtroom. So we’re just waiting to hear whether this is a tainted juror, whether it may not be that serious. He’s also trying to determine whether other jurors may have been exposed as a result of this one juror being exposed. So we’re playing a waiting game right now, we don’t want to get into speculation what it could mean for the case but a very serious development.
