The judge in the corruption trial of John Edwards sent the four alternate jurors home Wednesday, after their odd behavior made headlines as the jury deliberations dragged on.
The alternates don't need to return unless a juror has to be excused, but Judge Catherine Eagles told them they still should not discuss the case. The alternates gave audible sigh of relief.
"Everyone in the courtroom will miss your cheerful faces," Eagles said. "We will regret not knowing the color for tomorrow."
Last week, the four alternate jurors began wearing color-coordinated shirts, with bright yellow shirts on Thursday followed by red on Friday. They took a break from the routine Tuesday but on Wednesday were back at it, wearing purple.
The jury deliberations are well into their second week, as legal analysts begin to wonder whether the panel has deadlocked.
