Interesting- I hadn’t heard about the juror writing.

Here is a list of the jurors:

Juror No. 4
A black female possibly in her 40’s who said that she did not like to judge people by what other people said about them.
Pre-Trial Publicity: She said nothing that she heard about the case would influence her own opinion.

Death Penalty: She said that she “thinks” she could recommend the death sentence after weighing the aggravating and mitigating circumstances. “I just don’t like to point my finger at anyone,” she said. “What I mean by that is, judging someone by what they say.”

The prosecution tried three times, once for cause and twice with peremptory challenges, to remove this juror from the panel. The prosecution objected, saying that the challenge was racially biased. Judge Perry agreed, and would not allow the peremptory strike.

It’s only racially motivated because black Americans tend to be very forgiving (”redemption”) about criminals without wanting to afford them any punishment. This comes from so many black men being locked up in prison. It’s a problem on juries.

Really interesting link to the jurors. Sounds to me like the "grandmother" could be #1 or #5.
Not sure what any of this could mean. It could be good that she's got her head down and is writing away. OTOH, why won't she look at Ashton?

“”The prosecution tried three times, once for cause and twice with peremptory challenges, to remove this juror from the panel. The prosecution objected, saying that the challenge was racially biased. Judge Perry agreed, and would not allow the peremptory strike.””

Thanks for that - I had no idea why she was allowed on the jury. This explains it.

Juror number 4 will propably hang it up the entire jury.
