Judge Roger Chapple stated that he occasionally heard "tinny music" in court, during the three-and-a-half week trial of 72-year-old Alan Wicks, who has been convicted of murdering his wife, Pamela, which he disregarded until he received a note from a juror "snitching" on their fellow jury member, who was described by an Usher as "basically not paying attention."
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, ignored several warnings, and was finally discharged, before being arrested and charged with contempt of court, leaving the trial to continue with 11 jurors who found the retired businessman guilty.
The young woman was bailed until later this month.
