The jury was one of the youngest I've seen. It was also diverse. The judge did a terrific job handling the trial. She was always so courteous and respectful to Clark, addressing him directly and treating him as a person, not a criminal.

The security was unprecedented. The trial was on the fourth floor of the courthouse which takes up an entire city block. On the half of the fourth floor that included the courtroom the trial was held in, you couldn't have a cell phone, camera or computer. There was a separate room for media with a live audio feed and no video, but since I was there in my legal capacity, not as media, I had a seat in the courtroom. There were second metal detectors outside the courtroom you had to go through (in addition to the ones entering the building.) Any time they transported Clark or a witness in custody from the holding area to the courtroom, they cleared that side of floor.

The U.S. Marshals had their own attorney (I think from D.C.) present when Harris testified. Some Assistant U.S. attorneys and defense counsel for various people charged in the related federal drug cases were there for Harris' testimony as well. There were some interesting legal issues that day about what Harris would be allowed to answer about the witness protection program and the Marshal's Service lawyer went to get Main Justice on the phone a few times as the Judge kept reminding him that Harris was in her custody on a writ to testify and she might not agree with him on the restrictions about what he could answer. They eventually worked it out, probably not to the satisfaction of Clark's lawyers.

There was a lot of hearsay that came in and a lot of leading questions that were not objected to the days I was there --  sometimes the Judge, to her credit in my view, objected on her own.

The judge was so strict about cell phones, that if she found you had one, you were removed from the court and not allowed back for the rest of the trial. One day she called out some guy with a wire running from his ear to his back collar. I assume he was with the Marshal's service/Witness protection unit. She told him she had to keep the rules the same for everyone and banned him from the rest of the trial due to his cell phone.

An alternate juror who was dismissed yesterday spoke with several reporters in the hallway a few minutes ago. The juror, a 24-year-old black man who only wanted be identified as "Juror 371," said had he remained on the jury, he would have voted that Clark is innocent.

"There's not enough evidence," he said. The juror said he was bothered that while forensic evidence showed there were at least two shooters and two guns used to shoot into Williams's limo, the police only charged one suspect: Clark.

He said he was also disappointed that the police never investigated a tip that Daniel "PT" Harris -- the prosecution's star witness and the only witness to testify that he saw Clark shoot into the limo -- was actually the shooter. Harris's testimony that Clark did it wasn't believable, the juror said.
