Even if he was purposely trolling that juror, there would be no way of knowing or assuming that it would result in a note followed by a dismissal of the jury. It would be just as likely to end up in that juror being biased against his client. It makes no sense to try that.

I think people are looking into it too hard. The simplest explanation is that the juror doesn't like that lawyer and wanted to get him in trouble, or that they perceived something that wasn't real. People do it all the time when they don't like someone.
