Report of Flirtation Behind Edwards Trial Jury Issue? May 25th 2012, 22:32 GREENSBORO, N.C. –  The sixth day of jury deliberations in the John Edwards trial ended Friday with the judge dealing with an issue concerning a juror. U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Eagles told the jurors to return Tuesday morning, after the long holiday weekend, when the Eagles will resume a discussion with the attorneys about "a matter with the jury" She did not disclose details, but there is speculation it might involve exchanges of glances between an alternate juror and Edwards. ABC News reported that a female alternate juror appeared to be flirting with Edwards, smiling at and making eye contact with the former senator and failed presidential candidate. But not all reporters covering the trial characterized the behavior that way. Another possibility is that the jury issue is a scheduling problem with the jury foreman, which if big enough could result in his removal. That would mean deliberations would start from the beginning because alternate jurors have not been included in the process. Prosecutors say Edwards spearheaded a plan to use money from two wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress as he sought the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Edwards is charged with six felony counts related to illegal campaign contributions. Fox News' Douglas McKelway and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
