In Tyco Trial, an Apparent Gesture Has Many Meanings

David CARR

Juror who seemed to give approving signal to defense in trial of former Tyco International executives L Dennis Kozlowski and Mark H Swartz has become centerpiece of debate over whether she should have been identified in news media; she may become issue in trial as well, as defense says it will seek mistrial because compromise of her anonymity could subject her to undue pressure; she was identified by name by two news organizations, breaking longstanding tradition of not naming sitting jurors; legal scholars say bid for mistrial may have merit, although disclosure was legal; photo (M)

Judge in Tyco Case Dismisses a Mistrial Motion

By ANDREW ROSS SORKIN; Jonathan D. Glater and Mark J. Prendergast contributed reporting for this article

Andrew SORKIN

Justice Michael J Obus rejects motion from lawyers for two former top executives of Tyco International for mistrial on ground that naming of juror by news media had compromised deliberations; hopes to keep six-month-long corporate theft trial of L Dennis Kozlowski and Mark H Swartz from ending without verdict; has had to contend with increasing evidence of infighting in jury room; orders jury to continue its deliberations, saying what is published in newspaper cannot be allowed to determine what happens in trial; news media typically refrain from identifying jurors by name while trial is in progress; following judge's order, jury resumes deliberations, even sending notes to judge with specific questions about certain charges; this is in sharp contrast to notes last week that described jurors' deliberations as 'poisonous'; photos (M)

U.S. Accepts Responsibility, but Not Blame, in Deaths of 2 Iraqi Journalists

Jeffrey GETTLEMAN

American authorities accept responsibility for shooting deaths of two Iraqi journalists at army roadblock this month, but say soldiers fired in self-defense; say they were shooting at speeding car approaching roadblock and hit journalists by mistake; nighttime shooting, which provoked protests and walkout by Arab reporters during news conference by Secretary of State Colin L Powell, is latest in string of roadblock killings that have claimed dozens of Iraqi lives; as in many similar incidents, American official walks fine line, accepting responsibility for deaths but emphasizing that soldiers were not at fault; photo of Iraqis and British soldiers in street battle in Basra after British troops evict anti-occupation squatters from former government building (M)
