JUROR DISMISSED BEFORE OPENING STATEMENTS
Chicago, IL. -- Opening statements in the child pornography trial of R&B singer R. Kelly were delayed Tuesday when a juror was dismissed after saying that sitting on the panel would leave her unable to pay her bills. Asked whether her financial worries would cause her to not pay attention during the trial, the juror said, "Very much so." Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan dismissed the juror -- who said after using up her 30 hours of vacation time, she'd be without compensation -- and replaced her with one of four alternates. Only three alternate jurors remain.
