He’s lucky he’s not need the services of a defense attorney himself. What you described, while maybe something we’d all like to do, is pretty stupid.

A Juror has the power to, and is to, judge anything and everything having to do with the case they are on the jury for. That includes chewing out the judge or prosecutor if that is what they deserve. Not that a judge would ever let you know that or fail to find you in contempt.
