all 12 jurors?? who happen to believe in the death penalty which points a little more to them being conservative...which points a little more to them being in a higher intelligence bracket....so what are the chances that all 12 are complete morally bankrupt idiots?? You are “stat” man and you can’t do the math there??? ;0) Come on.... I hated statistics in college, but even I know the probability of that is close to nil..... And, in my experience, those types tend to be followers of what is “conventientional”...easy...road less traveled.... why would THEY come up with this verdict if they didn’t believe it?
Money, book deals.

That is dishonest, I KNOW for a FACT that two of them were against the DP and Perry wouldn’t allow them to be dismissed.
I think you assume and paint too much with a wide brush....
“so what are the chances that all 12 are complete morally bankrupt idiots”
You misunderstood my post. My point was that they could be EITHER an idiot OR morally bankrupt (voting not guilty to punish the prosecution). Having “OR” as an option instead of “AND” makes an outcome MORE LIKELY, not LESS LIKELY.
“why would THEY come up with this verdict if they didn’t believe it?”
I think they did believe it. Therefore, I conclude they are “innumerate”, and have a poor understanding that a chain of unlikely events creates an impossibility. Lack of understanding this is a VERY COMMON fallacy that even otherwise intelligent people succumb to.
It was not my opinion that they were voting guilty to punish the prosecution. That was the opinion of another poster based on an interview with an alternate juror, which I did not see. In my post, I was simply pointing out that both of us could be right. While I believe most of the jurors just couldn’t do the math, maybe she’s right that one or two were just punishing the prosecution. (For what, I’m not sure. Making them miss their family’s 4th of July celebration?) I’m with you I don’t like to believe that, but I was being gracious and conceding the possibility, since I didn’t see the interview that opinion was based on.
