During cross-examination by defence attorney Valerie Neita-Robertson, the forewoman says the clerk visited the jury room several times because of his duties and they became friends but insisted there was no fondling.

“Is it correct that on some occasions you, in particular, would fondle him [the clerk whose name is being withheld?” Neita-Roberston questioned. The foreman laughed before denying the claims.

However the prosecution then objected which resulted in a fiery exchange with Neita-Roberston.
