Juror discharged in O'Reilly trial

Mr Justice Barry White was today forced to discharge a juror in the murder trial of Joe O'Reilly after it emerged she had had a conversation with another person during jury selection.

The comments were discovered when Mr Eric Gorman, a member of the jury panel who was not selected, phoned the jury office in the Four Courts to inform them of the conversation he had with the juror before she was sworn-in.
