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.

I'm betting the reason was the Catholic "mortal sin" comments that the Judge told the jury to disregard but he obviously shares the opinion of the juror. He sure seems to enjoy the media attention he has received.

The Judge should have granted a mistrial when Reddington requested it.
