Word up to Blogo - get her on the 2nd jury!

Wonder how she’ll spend her payoff money....

What are the odds the woman is; a) a yellow-dawg democrat, b) a woman of color, and c) an obama drone.

[RJS1950]

She is:

1. a democrat
2. paid off
3. family threated
4. all of the above

I think Patrick Fitzgerald is scum and if I could not have found a way off the jury, I would probably have held out.

“She just looked at things a different way,” said Sarnello.

Oh, I'm sure that's all it was.

The accusations are already beginning to fly… was she paid off, threatened, politically motivated, or truly convinced-even in the face of all of the evidence- that he was innocent? I’m sure a lot more on this will be revealed in the days to come, including the woman’s name.

That's when the fur will fly -- I can't wait to see/hear all the left when they jump to her defense, attempt to justify her *different viewpoint* when it is patently obvious from the comments of these other jurors, not to mention the evidence provided.

This women is a hero!

My first reaction is that I would have kept her right there, day after day, week after week. My hope would be that she would ask to be taken off the jury and an alternate brought in at that point.

I know that's not a reasonable, real-world solution, but somehow she knew she could derail the entire process and in the end she was right, she could.

Hopefully she will be identified and her possible motives will be carefully examined.

As a rule I wouldn't think a juror in such a highly visible trial would be to visible to buy off or threaten or whatever. But hey, this IS Chicago and the case DOES involve Obama, so all bets are off. Who knows what happened!

I would be bet good money that whatever it was, it was not on the up and up!

I've served on two juries where this same thing happened, just a stubborn personality, that either cannot, or will not listen to the evidence or reason. On the first one, the holdout juror hated cops so he voted "not guilty" despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Until she and Jimmy Hoffa meet.

I heard today, on WLS, Chicago, that the 11 : 1 was on only ONE of the 23 charges the jury couldn’t reach a decision on. Doesn’t that mean that there were even more who said “not guilty” on 22 charges?

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.

[pnh102]

Wait, it is somehow this juror's fault if the prosecutor failed to make his case?

Sorry, but this is how our system is supposed to work.

Yeah ... like through the eyes of Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, etc. (greenbacks, that is).

Good for her. I’m happy to see this stay in the news with another trial.
