It may be the jurors were genuinely afraid a guilty verdict would result in this pack of armed sadists descending on them in the dark of night.
Thats what I’ve been wondering, too. Maybe they were threatened. Thomas’ father better watch his back, too. His being a former cop won’t mean jack to the cops set free.

In Southern CA I would not be suprised if you are right.
As the police state lawlessness continues to spread and people feel like they have no recourse it would not suprise me to see retribution set in. Like maybe 6 mos down the road you read about one of the officers house burning to the ground in the middle of the night. Stuff like that. Or one of the cops gets a call out in the middle of a dark industrial park and is found the next day with two to the forehead. When folks can’t get justice they will eventually create their own justice.
