You have to look at it this way, who would actually enjoy being on a sequestered jury, be away from their families for months and have no contact with them? No one forced these jurors to show up and be part of this..they came to court knowing there was a chance they would be on this jury..you see your usual Government workers, the ones with criminal records and family members with criminal records, and the ones who didn’t pass the 11th grade..these are the jurors we are left with here..the ones who go YIPPEE I will get 5 bucks a day and a book deal. these are the ones you see ending up on high profile cases like this one
I was on two juries this year - a grand jury, and a mock trial jury. While neither did as badly as this one, dumbed down is the word. Much time was wasted, as perhaps half of the jurors could not understand and follow the simplest instructions they were given, and this half included jury foremen.
Television, MSM, spoke through those jurors mouths. The Big Pharma company that organized the mock trial to, presumably, compile a profile of an ideal juror from my county will have a tough time winning the stupid civil suit against it.
