Fox just announced that the first thing they did after leaving to deliberate, was to take votes on all counts. Only then did they read the jury instructions.
These are twelve of the most stupid people I've ever seen.

It's hard to figure out if they're stupid, evil, or a combination of the two. They didn't even seem to take the charges seriously. I swear, I thought one of them was going to say something like, "Hey, having a celebrity put his hands down your pants--that kid shoulda been proud!"
Then that idiot woman juror on Fox who wondered what kind of parent would put her child in such a dangerous position--as if THAT is the matter she was there to judge. I guess as long as you have an idiot for a parent, you're fair game. This makes me sick.

I'm not a legal eagle and have never been on a jury, but I think taking any vote before deliberating (or even allowing jurors to express a definite view toward guilty or not guilty) should be strictly forbidden in the judge's instructions to the jury. If the jury votes before any attempt is made toward deliberation (and especially if the vote is said to have been unanimous) then it's hard to believe that the jury proceeded to deliberate with any open mind to consider all the evidence.
That said, I'm amazed that they were out for an entire week if they all knew in the first minutes that everyone was ready to acquit on all charges. Does that mean they really did discuss all of the evidence seriously, or were they just enjoying the food and cameraderie??? Maybe they were working up drafts of their book manuscripts while in the presence of the evidence!!!
