A federal judge avoided a potential mistrial in the CIA leak case Monday by dismissing a juror and sending the other 11 back to continue deliberating the fate of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said the juror had seen or read something over the weekend about the trial. Rather than call on one of two alternates, Walton sided with Libby's lawyers and allowed deliberations to continue with 11 jurors -- something allowed under federal law in such situations.
