Jurors are not elected officials. They are pressed into service against their will. They get paid almost nothing and are separated from their everyday lives, jobs, families and friends for weeks.

Jury duty sucks. That is why everybody wants to get out of it. It is boring, monotonous and mind numbing process. It is also one that caries a great deal of anxiety because they are taxed with a very serious duty.

You didn't sit on the jury. You didn't engage in deliberations. You watched the case at home ab=nd was tainted by analysts and court procedures not privy to the jury.

As for doing there job correctly, the fact that they where able to come to a decision on all counts is enough to prove they properly did their job. Coming to a consensus is their job.

I see. Good thing you are are in position to cast your opinions on us lowly posters, but we don’t dare have the right to offer our opinion of the vaunted jurors in this case. I see how it works. Get off your damn high horse and move on to other threads so we can find out how we should be reacting to those issues, too.
