Salerno Apologises To Jurors

A Franklin County Municipal Court judge says she is sorry if she offended any of the jurors she scolded after they issued a verdict she believed to be wrong. Jurors in Amy Salerno's courtroom issued a not guilty verdict last week in a misdemeanor assault case. Four of the eight jurors have complained about how Salerno treated them following the verdict's announcement. One juror says she cried after the judge berated the group and told them they "got this wrong."   The jury found 36-year-old Joseph McGee not guilty of assault and disorderly conduct charges.
