Message to the next jury: You'd better convict or else.

You may have heard of the Federal public corruption trial of former Allegheny County coroner Cyril H. Wecht. This was widely believed to be a politically motivated trial to get the Democrats. It ended a day or so ago in a hung jury. The prosecution says it will re-try the case. Now the FBI is out their intimidating the jury.

Two jurors said Thursday they were unnerved by FBI requests for home visits to explain why they deadlocked in the federal public corruption trial of former Allegheny County coroner Cyril H. Wecht.

Experts said the practice of using FBI agents to contact and interview jurors in their homes after mistrials was unusual, but the U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh characterized it as "commonplace."

"I thought it was kind of intimidating," the jury foreman said about the FBI phone call.

Said another juror, "I found it kind of unusual."
