Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:30:38 GMT

A day after the jurors deciding the fate of San Jose’s State former athletic trainer accused of sexually assaulting female athletes hit a “rough patch” and ended deliberations early, the federal judge in the case admonished them Thursday to “not to bully or antagonize other jurors.”U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman also acknowledged to the eight women and four men who filed back into the courtroom that “the jury room is very small” and offered them an empty courtroom.

That’s when three former backup singers filed a lawsuit against her, alleging that she subjected them to a hostile workplace, sexual harassment, weight-shaming and other indign...
