Rose poses for pictures with jurors after being cleared in civil suit
Derrick Rose and two co-defendants were found not liable on all counts in a civil sexual assault lawsuit in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and soon after the trial concluded, some of the jurors reverted from arbiters of justice to plain-old fans, as several were seen posing for pictures with the New York Knicks point guard and his attorney.
Here's one, as captured by Joel Rubin of the Los Angeles Times:

The jurors weren't the only ones who reportedly behaved inappropriately in the wake of the verdict.
According to Julia Marsh of the New York Post, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald told Rose: "Best wishes. Except when the Knicks play the Lakers."
