After news outlets revealed the name of a controversial juror in the Tyco trial, the defense is calling for a mistrial.

At the center of the conflict between the juror know as “the holdout granny” and the other jurors is whether or not the accused company executives had “criminal intent” in their excessive use of company funds. On Point looks at how jury dynamics are affecting the Tyco trial.

Guests:

Ivan Fisher, New York Defense Attorney

Mark Zauderer, Partner, Piper Rudnick, and the Chairman of New York’s Commission on the Jury.
