Wempe Deliberations Restart After Juror Swap
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Jurors deliberating the molestation trial of a retired Roman Catholic priest were told Tuesday to start their talks anew after a juror had to be replaced because of a family emergency.
The jury had spent one day deliberating the case of Michael Wempe.
A juror whose grandfather died was replaced by one of the four alternates. The new panel began deliberating Tuesday and is scheduled to resume today.
