Does anyone have any ideas as to why the jury would be discharged and a new one sworn in?

Im a little puzzled by this one.

If the integrity of the jury was in question that could be a reason...

Maybe they couldnt give an un-biased opinion on the case as they knew too much about the case because of media reports????

That really is some appaling english

But surely if that were the case the same reasoning could be applied to any jury?
