I Believe the Juror

[j.p.]

The entire country was concerned.

Which goes to exactly what I had been saying, the jury felt intimidated or at the very least, influenced.

And as I've been saying. Jurors have no choice but to fulfill the duty they took an oath to do. In addition they were required, under law, NOT to consider anything happening outside the courtroom. They went into this knowing full well the implications. If they expressed the fear you are claiming they would certainly have been disqualified or not selected. The defense is a full partner in jury selection. The possibility of violence was present long before the jurors were selected.

As I also said, jurors are human. Being aware of outside influences are not totally avoidable in any trial. But we we still need to have juries of peers, right ?

On a personal note, do you think Chauvin should have walked.
