"FakeSheilaDixon" reporting from the jury room: Tweets as satire
The anonymous wag FakeSheilaDixon has been Twittering away since September, with tweets that earned “her” scores of followers. Now, it turns out, this sham Sheila is on the jury (at least, it seems to be the same person) and @fakedixonjuror is keeping trial watchers diverted, while the real jurors continue their fourth day of deliberations.
