Only if the 10 women were angry divorcées, especially anti-Christian ones. Faithful wives and moms would have grabbed the defendant out of her chair in the courtroom and strangled her.
Defense lawyers have described to me the Herculean difficulty of getting a heavily female jury to acquit an attractive female defendant. Women do not necessarily identify with women. They stick up for their way of life, whatever that is.
Similarly, in electoral politics, there is no "gender" (i.e., sex) gap. There's a marriage gap. In broad terms, GOP = married or optimistic about marriage. Dems = angrily divorced or single and pessimistic.
Interesting points to ponder.
I concur. A public defender I know said she tries to keep women off the jury if she has a woman client and plans to use a battered wife defense.
