One Person refused to follow the judge’s instructions

I beg to differ. You nor I know as we do no sit on that jury. That was the opinion of the Foreman of the jury if this is to be believed. The contents of the note are not public.

“One Person refused to follow the judge’s instructions”

That was what the defense attorney said.

Of course he would say that.

I distinctly heard the judge say the note from the jury foreman DIDN’T say that.

I’ll believe the judge over a defense attorney any day.

I’m going by what we’ve been told, and the behavior of the defense attorney and judge seem to bear it out. Do you think the foreman lied in the message to the judge, or that all the other individuals on a jury would tolerate the situation being misrepresented?

People here like to think that 12 randomly chosen people are always going to act according to the prevailing politics of their state, or their gender, or the color of their skin. But people are *individuals*. You can’t make blanket assumptions like that just to confirm your own biases.

EXACTLY! The foreman created the note and most likely threw the one holdout under the bus using disparaging verbiage and narrative.
