Tyco hold-out juror defends herself after mistrial
Bernard Hibbitts at 10:46 AM ET

Ruth Jordan, the hold-out Tyco juror who found herself at the center of a media frenzy that ultimately led to a mistrial order last Friday, defended herself in an interview published Monday in New York Newsday. Insisting that she had stood by the concept of the presumption of innocence, she said that she was being unfairly targeted by a fellow-juror in an article coming out in TIME magazine which suggested she had not acted in good faith. Tyco defendants Dennis Kozlowski and Mark H. Swartz meanwhile face the daunting prospect of a retrial, according to this story in today's New York Times.
