In a candid reminiscence, the writer recalls the Candace Messler trial in Miami where jurors arrived in ties versus others, and a judge admonished media not to reveal juror names. He discusses Howard Felsher and Michael Rosen challenging crime news publication, judge contempt of court, and media influence on verdicts. He notes jurors seek judge guidance, reviewers’ ethics, and the press’s uneasy role in crime reporting.
