"It's not the jurors' fault that there was no conviction, it is the District Attorney's fault."

Isn't is really society's fault? Shouldn't we try to understand the root causes of their behavior and try to shed the collective guilt that we all should feel?

This simply shows how easily influenced these two jurors were... They simply moved with the tide. When everyone else in the room said not guilty, so did they. When everyone else in the world said guilty, they changed their tune.

More and more, I have less and less faith in the traditional jury system. Let's go to a 3 judge panel like other countries use.
