Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit July 23, 1996, 95-3073 (United States v. Edward Cencer)

MOORE, Circuit Judge.

The principal issue in this case is whether a district court may substitute jurors during a criminal trial after submission of the case to the original jury. Although such substitution runs counter to the explicit terms of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 24(c), we conclude that Rule 24(c) may be waived by the defendant under appropriate circumstances.
