A demonstrator

A young woman just walked up to the area where the jury is deliberating. She had a sign that reads "Give me Justice!"

It features a colorful "precious moments" picture of a little girl dressed in purple (Jessica's favorite color). When confronted by security guards, she said she was exercising her first amendment rights.

"Let people see what it does to girls," she told them, mentioning that her sister had been raped.

At the suggestion of guards, she had to take her one-woman protest outside.

Guards have now moved the security barrier around 20' away from courtroom 4-2.
