The jury in the Ted Stevens trial today asked that one of its number be removed, the Anchorage Daily News reports.

She has had violent outbursts with other jurors and that's not helping anyone.” The judge will remind members to be civil before contacting alternate jurors. (More Ted Stevens stories.)
