This jury was afraid to convict a worldwide celebrity. Plain and simple.
None of them seemed to have any backbone. Marcia Clark was on TV saying that even though they think that celebrity played no part in their decision, it did.
I think there was a sheep mentality going on with this jury. There may have been several who had doubts about convicting, but they were too timid to speak up. I would have liked to have heard from the jurors who didn't speak up.
"Marcia Clark was on TV saying that even though they think that celebrity played no part in their decision, it did."
Glad to see that Marcia Clark recognized denial correctly in this case.
Exactly, and we will see evidence of this as time goes on. Already, we hear that the verdict was almost a fait accompli, almost no discussion or dissention took place. Why they just didn't come back in to the courtroom after 2 hours or so, can only be explained by their feeling of obligation to go over the case day by day. I don't know why they bothered.
