Well said. It's telling that the jurors have pretty much shunned the limelight..this..in an age where everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame, and they could easily get big $$$ for doing an interview.

I wonder if the jury suffered something akin to Stockholm syndrome..you take all these complete strangers..lock them away together for weeks..no real outside contact..they were pretty much cut off from most news..and weird stuff can happen. I can give the jury a pass for not being able to agree on first degree murder...but what I can never understand is why not ONE held out for the lesser count of manslaughter. That makes no sense....especially when they convicted her on the lesser counts of lyign to police, and that she didn't take the stand..

“not ONE held out for the lesser count of manslaughter”

Maybe because they knew they’d be there one minute longer?

When I worked on the pipeline, even years ago, we made fantastic money. But even though we were well fed and housed and piling up the dough, one by one, everyone in my crew quit. Including myself.

Sequestration needs to be thoroughly examined for the future. I hear it is extremely rare, and the 2 I know of-—OJ and slutmom. are both NG in trials with prosecutors typically winning 90+% of their cases.
