A juror in the trial of Ammon Bundy and six others sent a note to the judge Tuesday, questioning the impartiality of juror No. 11 because he used to work for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

OPB's Amelia Templeton and Kate Davidson talk about that note, and what it potentially means for prosecutors and defense attorneys as they await a verdict.
