And attorney Lynne Stewart’s defense team unsuccessfully asked the judge to declare a mistrial Wednesday after a bizarre incident outside the courthouse. According to the New York Times six jurors were being transported home in a van Tuesday when the van driver took an unexpected turn outside the court and drove through a crowd of news camera crews and then rolled down his window to shout at a group of supporters of Stewart. The driver reportedly loudly asked “Who’s Lynne Stewart?” The jury on the Stewart case has been deliberating since Jan. 12 but have only met sporadically.
