Based on what I have heard the three jurors who spoke say, I feel they were incurious, lacking in common sense, and just plain lazy thinkers.

I immediately wonder about the intelligence of people who say they never follow the news and know nothing about cases that have been reported on for months or even years. Is it actually desirable to have people this dumb on juries?

A sad state of affairs, IMO.

Yes it is a sad state of affairs. I am sure some if not all heard about this case way before they became jurors; especially Ms. Goldilocks(Juror 3). This kind of person was what the defense was looking for and they got it in spades. I am curious as to why the judge kept allowing them to be on the jury. The prosecution from what I understand did everything they could to keep at least some of them off. They were definitely not a well balanced jury. I am also curious as to understand why at least one did not protest.

It also bothers me that there was a mock jury and they came up with the same results.

I know people who claim they don’t read the newspapers or watch the evening news. They know nothing about news, politics or their own communities. God help us all!
