No one lost anything. The prosecution CANNOT have a majority woman jury if there is a redo. That was foolish. I can see why they thought it would work, though. They might have thought the women would sympathize with the murdered kids. Whoops. No, they selected a bunch of witches instead
I agree. We’ve been taught for a very long time that the maternal instinct is second only to the instinct for survival / self-preservation — and that often, it overcomes even that “prime directive”. Prosecutors learned a very hard lesson with this case; i.e., that what used to be true is no longer true.
If they’re worth anything as prosecutors, they won’t make the same mistake twice.
