ATLANTA — A potential Fulton County juror held in contempt after traveling to the Dominican Republic instead of returning to court last month was excused from service in the Young Slime Life gang case Monday after submitting the 30-page paper assigned by the judge.
“I find that your paper is sufficient,” Fulton County Chief Judge Ural Glanville said after Juror No. 64 submitted the essay on the importance of jury service, citing 10 primary sources and 10 secondary sources as required.
Glanville said the essay would be attached to an order stating the requirements had been fulfilled and that the paper would remain sealed until after the trial. Juror No. 64 was admonished not to publish or discuss the essay until after the trial and readily agreed.
