There's not much else to write about

The Birmingham News, faced today with vast swaths of otherwise unfilled news hole, at long last heeded the public's cries for biographical data on the jurors deciding former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy's fate.

If the factoids in Wednesday's News story failed to sate your hunger for knowledge about Juror No. 467, you'll be glad to learn she's a security guard who's been on a jury before. So have the jury leader, Juror No. 157, who likes to knit, and Juror No. 188, who's a Shriner. The panel includes four veterans and at least one known rugby enthusiast.
