Houston ? Two members of the jury that convicted Arthur Andersen LLP of obstruction of justice dozed off during the first two weeks of the trial, prompting complaints from other members of the panel, a juror said Friday.

Jack Gallo told The Associated Press he wrote a note meant for U.S. District Judge Melinda Harmon last month complaining about two jurors who fell asleep during testimony. Two other jurors signed the note, he said.

Gallo said he tried to give the note to a U.S. marshal, but the marshal advised him it wasn’t written on the proper form. The marshal also told him Harmon was aware of the problem.

Gallo said the marshal told Harmon about the matter and Gallo kept his note. He said he was satisfied that Harmon addressed the problem when the sleepers remained awake for the rest of the trial.

According to Texas Lawyer, one of the sleepy jurors thought David Duncan, Andersen’s former top Enron auditor, was the defendant, and the other questioned whether NASA was involved. Duncan had pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and testified against the firm.

Andersen was accused of shredding Enron Corp.-related documents last year to thwart a Securities and Exchange Commission accounting probe. The trial started with jury selection May 6 and ended last week with a guilty verdict after 72 hours of jury deliberations over 10 days.

Texas Lawyer, a publication for the legal industry, said Friday that it would report in its Monday edition that Gallo and an alternate juror were surprised the judge didn’t replace the dozing jurors with alternates.
