I don't care how big of a fan I was, even if it was Mel Gibson (sigh...) & I thought he was guilty of child molestation I'd vote to lock his butt up forever. These people are sick!
I've often said that you'd be hard-pressed to find a group of people with a lower collective IQ than a California jury, and this story sure reinforces my point.
Dont forget the OJ trial, and Rodney King was made a millionaire by these low IQ Jurors.
Robert Blake walked, Natalie Woods murderer is still making movies and Jane Fonda is still a traitor who hasnt been tried.
They probably would. Michael pays his pimps and procurers very well, as we know.
Nor will I.
Nor will I read it, if it's offered to me for FREE.
Or how much money can I, as a juror, make off the book, movie or Playboy spread?
Of course you would have to be Michael Jackson to get the respect, adoration and acquittal you want.
This type of juror misconduct is especially egregious because of the nature of Jackson's crimes.
Something is in the water down there. It doesn't wear off when they move away, they infect the neighborhoods they move to with their sickness.
Maybe liberalism is contagious?
Natalie Woods' murderer?
I thought she fell off a boat drunk.
One of the cutest girls ever.
I think it would, first, shorten the trial because people would be ancy to get on with their lives and the lawyers would know they run a huge risk of ticking people off. And second, usually, there would be at least a few decent people on every jury to balance out the rest. Finally, it would put those "jury specialists" out of business and make them get real jobs. ; )

I like your ideas. I like making jury duty mandatory, no exceptions. And fair compensation should be part of it.
Of course your ideas have no chance of becoming reality, since those that would lose most are those that would have to enact the rules changes.
Of course, that could suppress voter registration which could cause problems. Perhaps it could be tied to driver's licenses, but that could mean illegals could be on a jury.
Oh never mind. There's a reason I'm not a in public office. LOL. However, I wonder if some enterprising person could get something like this on the ballot in each state as an initiative. That might get us around the vested interests.
It's sure to be smarmy, even with a good ghost writer. I don't think my stomach would be able to take it.
I sure hope you're right. These people on the jury are disgusting.
So there may be hope yet. You're right though, the actions of these jurors are particularly egregious.
Cook rubbed me the wrong way in
her interview moments after the
verdict. What smarta$$ b****!
Not by casual contact, our I'd be in a world of hurt.
Of course, the case should have gone to trial. There was enough evidence. And no way should someone escape prosecution because he is a rich, famous and demented celebrity.
Once again, we had a stupid and/or corrupt OJ/Blake/Durst jury who were not about to convict a celebrity. >P>The children in his care (whoever may be their actual parent) remain in danger. Imagine tangling a baby from a balcony or making your children wear veils.
