	Juror Replaced in Priest Sex Case By AP Fox 44 August 25, 2008 http://www.fox44.net/Global/story.asp?S=8894637 BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - A juror hearing a priest sex abuse case against the Diocese of Burlington has been dismissed for sleeping through parts of the trial. Chittenden County Superior Court Judge Matthew Katz says the man "frequently dozed" during testimony. Katz replaced the juror with an alternate on Monday before closing arguments in the trial were due to begin. The case involves a former altar boy who blames the church for his alleged molestation by a parish priest in Burlington in 1977 and 1978. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
