Robert Barnes was fired by the defense lawyers due to their disagreement with him over jury selection strategy. Banes said that his polling of the jury pool showed him that 30% of the jury pool would vote guilty noatter what the evidence proves. He also told the defense that their strategy would virtually guarantee that half of the jurors ultimately seated would vote for conviction no matter what the evidence proves. And they fired him, but because it’s looking more and more like he was correct as the latest rumors about the deliberations is saying they’re deadlocked at 6-6.
Barnes is one of the best. It’s a shame really.
