A second juror was dismissed over his past arrest. Details of juror number 4’s criminal past were not disclosed.

Once during jury selection where I was a part of the pool, the prosecution had a laptop and would ask in open court things like, "Mr. Jones can you tell us what happened on June 18th 1996?" The first person they asked was stunned and took a while to answer, but for most people it was, "I got drunk and did something stupid." But this was for all to hear. I don't know if any of them ended up on the jury or not. I didn't have anything like that, and I was not selected although I believe defense wanted me (vetoed by the prosecution I'm sure).

I was in the jury pool for a trial. They were calling up potential jurors one at a time and asking them questions.

The judge called up another potential juror, a rather attractive young woman. One of the attorneys jumped up and asked to approach the bench. The judge called up both attorneys, they talked for a few minutes, and the judge dismissed the woman. After she left the courtroom, the judge turned to the jury pool with a scowl on his face and said, “Now, are any more of you jurors sleeping with one of these lawyers?”

I was tempted to raise my hand.
