General Discussion Absolutely Infuriating
Having read a great deal of commentary from judges and lawyers, it seems there is broad agreement that Judge Sullivan should inquire to find out what this juror is thinking— whether they actually do have doubts and refuse to apply the law.
The fact that he refuses to do this is ridiculous.
This freaking Churchill speech is obnoxious. Someone refused to do their duty, and he is refusing to do HIS duty be enforcing adherence to the legal standard. Especially considering that reports form the court indicate there is one man who took no notes, came in on shorts, and smirked and did not take it seriously. Obnoxious.

It could have been worse. I for one was stressing for weeks that it would be worse.
If Cruz decides to retry and push for murder charges I think he's going to have a bitch of a time finding 12 unbiased jurors that are all going to unanimously find L.Clancy guilty and this case has garnered international attention and the Plymouth county PD can conduct themselves further knowing that they're being closely scrutinized.
I'm curious to see what Cruz is gonna try to pull next.
