Can sentencing jurors get the blue flu?

November 8, 2004

I was hoping that we might have news from the Enron Nigerian barge sentencing jury (previously discussed here) before the sentencing stories are overtaken by a decision in Booker and Fanfan.  But the rumor mill is starting to “confirm” my speculation here that tomorrow’s opinion from SCOTUS will be Booker and Fanfan, and now this report from Houston indicates that an ill juror put a halt to the jury’s advisory sentencing deliberations in the Enron Nigerian barge.  Though the work of this “sentencing jury” is scheduled to resume tomorrow, I wonder if a decision in Booker and Fanfan could change the face of this case yet again.
