 Nina Totenberg, NPR News, Washington. Federal prosecutors are charging five people with trying to bribe a juror in a federal trial in Minneapolis. They allege the defendants spied on the juror and then dropped off a bag at her house. The bag was filled with about $120,000 in cash. The U.S. attorney for Minnesota, Andrew Lugar, says that instead, the juror reported the incident to authorities and turned over the money. Corruption of a jury through intimidation or bribery.
