1 time that I took that approach. I don't think it changes the
2 picture because I don't think the Westlaw report itself has the
3 picture. But what I had in making this decision was I figured
4 they'd Googled, I Googled. I figured they didn't think she was
5 a suspended lawyer based on the Google search and the note to
6 the Court. I didn't think it was the suspended lawyer. But I
7 figured if they were going to raise the Google issue, I'd lay
8 it out.
9 THE COURT: Did you ever consider consulting with the
10 government about the wild possibility that Juror No. 1 was in
11 fact a suspended lawyer, given your testimony right now that it
12 was your assumption that the government was also looking into
13 jurors on the internet?
14 THE WITNESS: I did not. I think that the government
15 and I come to different conclusions sometimes about things, but
16 I know --
17 THE COURT: Why not? Why not? If you knew that -- if
18 it was your assumption that they were expending the same kind

20 THE WITNESS: I'm a little bit in a zone where I'm not
21 describing my thought processes, because I didn't think about
22 raising it with the government. But what I'm trying to say is
23 I assumed that the government and its paralegals and all the
24 rest Googled the jurors and I don't always agree with them, but
25 they're pretty good investigators and they have access to more
