Description
Dry Land Marina (hereafter defendant), a retail seller of watercraft, was charged with eight counts of sales tax fraud, MCL
205.27; MSA 7.657(27). Four of defendant's officers/salesmen were also charged with aiding and abetting tax fraud. Following
a jury trial, defendant was convicted on five counts and all of the individual defendants were acquitted. Defendant was sentenced
to pay a $5,000 fine on each conviction. Defendant appeals as of right. We affirm. At issue in this case is the manner in which the trial court resolved a situation which arose when, during jury deliberations,
a juror became ill. Trial began on September 15, 1986, with the selection of fourteen jurors. On October 7, 1986, following
ten days of testimony, the court instructed the fourteen jurors and then selected two alternates. The twelve jurors subsequently
deliberated for approximately one hour.
