The word in the media room is that the marshals have a note from the jurors. People are meeting at 9:45. People say comments, "I've seen verdicts come in the form of a note before". Others say "If the ask for St. Patrick's day T-Shirts, it's not a good sign." Another person says, I just spoke with Jenna, "It is just a note."

Update: Everyone is sitting, waiting... Fitzpatrick is talking with his team, as is wells... Libby looks pensive...

In the media room, a reporter jokes, "I suspect this isn't a 'we need more office supplies'"

The reporters talk about having every scenario for this note already written... Read back of Judith Miller... The discussion wanders... and we wait...

The discussion drifts to O.J. Simpson, conspiracy theories and what would have happened if the trial were held today with so many more people understanding DNA.

9:57 All Rise...

Judge Walton speaks: My understanding from the foreman of the jury... A juror may have been exposed outside courtroom... Others jurors may have been exposed... Don't know the nature of the situation... make arrangements with jury...
