A middle-aged African-American woman who used to live in the Parkchester section of the Bronx in the 1970s — not far from where Diallo was killed. The soft-spoken woman was nonetheless emphatic about her lack of contact with the NYPD. She described herself as "law-abiding" and said she's had "absolutely no interaction with the police whatsoever." Her son is a private investigator and served in the military police.

The judge refused to allow her dismissal. By law, the first juror becomes the foreperson.
