Sleepy juror dismissed from Simpson civil trial

An alternate juror who dozed through scientific testimony was dismissed from O J Simpson's civil trial in Santa Monica, days before the defendant could testify. The juror, a 19 year old white college student, slept during most of the case and was removed after defense complaints. Judge Fujisaki quipped the testimony was affecting jurors and apologized. Simpson could testify as early as next Friday, while his criminal trial ended with acquittal last year.
