Looking at it from the judge's perspective, that prospective juror's comment may have tainted the entire venire (jury pool), and while individual jurors don't get paid much, in aggregate it's a lot of money to come up with a new venire, and maybe a new trial date. I assume that the defense attorney at least considered moving for a mistrial on that basis (that the venire was tainted). I would have. Not saying I know I would have won, since I've never heard of such a thing, either. Most people act respectful in courtrooms and at least pretend to believe in the presumption of innocence.
