They were laughing in the jury room? Wow.
I think these people were assuming they were going to be rolling in the big bucks like the OJ jurors were. They didn’t take into account the fury of the fact that this was a TWO YEAR OLD CHILD and not a middle aged woman and waiter. While OJ’s victims were sympathetic, Caylee makes us feel much higher fury because she was so young.
Yes, many tweets at #Caseyanthony by reporters in court remarked how the jurors whooped it up during the trial from inside the room just outside the courtroom. I thought that was odd especially on days graphic evidence was shown.
No sympathy here.
One of the jurors, a male unidentified, was offered 50k for an interview. He refused holding out for more. It’s also been reported another juror sought out a publicist once she found out she was picked for this jury and that it was the Anthony case.
Their actions should be disturbing to even those who believe green men from mars killed Caylee (why not aliens? More credible than anything Baez offered).
On twitter there was talk of petitioning our government to pass a federal law making it against the law for any juror to profit from a case, guilty or not. The argument being how can the public feel confident a jury is deliberating in the best interest of society and following the law if they have a plan to profit from a case.
It’s doubtful such a law would hold up to constitutional muster (free speech issue among others) still it would be more reassuring to the public and those on trial if they were assured a jury of their peers did not have ulterior motives. Given that a law would not hold up it becomes up to the public to assure people do not profit by not supporting any product offered up. If nothing else good comes out of this trial maybe this will be it.
That’s absolutely true. I also think people are in a fury because this mother waited 31 days and then it wasn’t her that called police it was her frantic mother. All the while Casey was out partying and getting a tattoo that said life is beautiful. That just enrages me.
