U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds called an early end to testimony Friday after a juror fell ill.
The juror became ill after having a negative reaction to medication and Edmunds dismissed lawyers at 12:20 p.m.
The sickness made it impossible for the juror to continue Friday, the judge said.
“I know how he feels,” Kwame Kilpatrick’s lawyer James C. Thomas quipped.
