The jury in the corruption prosecution of former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy, former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, and two former aides to the Governor continued deliberating for a tenth day to reach a verdict on the charges. On June 27, the foreman sent a note that some jurors were "lackadaisical" and not working to break a deadlock, but notes the next day indicated that the jurors were going to try to move forward. The judge rejected a government request that the court interview the jurors and remove those who were not working to reach a verdict, a dangerous proposition if the jury were to return a guilty verdict after the threat of removal or actual substitution of alternates. Whether the jury will be able to render a verdict as to any of the defendants remains an open issue. An AP story (here) discusses the jury deliberations. (ph)
