Speak for yourself. I happen to care and think it's terrible how these people are being treated.
It may be terrible how these jurors are being treated but it seems that they put George Anthony on trial instead of Casey and I am wondering if there was a "I am smarter than you attitude" going on in the jury room.
I agree with the pity party. They made a decision and should be able to live with it without the whining and poor me stuff. One said 'not guilty doesn't mean we thought she was innocent.' That makes so much sense doesn't it.
After listening to the Jury foreman, I can see where he would be a bully. I understand better why Juror #2 being the final hold out for guilty caved.
I listened to the foreman too. He sounded like a 30 something who knows all the answers--was he a used car salesman by occupation? He must have said the word "speculation" a hundred times. So, I'm sure he was in there and everytime someone said something, he said, "No, that's speculation."
I disagree about the note taking. Haven't you ever had to take notes in class while the instructor was speaking? I have never had a problem taking notes, in fact, I like to because it is my interpretation and I can put question marks at places I feel need to be clarified to me. If I wait for those moments until the end, good Lord, that thought could be long forgotten. You are right, there is court reports...good for those moments you might miss while taking notes.
What we did in college is bring in tape recorders because it is so easy to miss things while taking notes. We brought the tapes home, played them and stopped them as we took our notes so that we didn't miss anything. As the judge said to them in the beginning, do not get so caught up in note taking that you miss something...and it is NOT required of the jury to take notes.
In answer to another question about 11-1 you being the one...I was in that situation. I was the 1. No, they did not belittle me or try to make me feel stupid, they were respectful and listened to me in how I came to my conclusion. I listened to them, they listened to me and after much debate, it turned in to a hung jury with about 4 other people changing their decision.
I personally think that the jurors were thinking about the penalty issues, not what the focus should have been, guilt or nor guilty. I think the whole death penalty issue was freaking them out. But their job is to use common sense, which they did not do. That is allowed, there was enough evidence and common sense to determine guilt. INMO.
Which juror was this? The nurse who came out first or a later one?
It was Jennifer Ford # 3 juror whining.
The Foreman #11 is past stupid. He believes all the statements of the defense and it was ALL CONJECTURE! No Evidence to back up what he thinks.. I can't even go where he is.. he is that senseless!
This foreman actually did use his feelings and discounted ALL THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE of the prosecution. The duct tape, the smell the fact Caylee was thrown away like trash .
Who in their right mind would see a child drown and then throw her body in the muck?
Then the duct tape that was on Caylee's nose and mouth.. here is George posting up Caylee's picture with the same duct tape. Now we know that George is an x cop and knows about evidence. Can anyone in their common sense mind think that George killed Caylee , put the rare duct tape on her nose and mouth and then goes around and posts up Caylee's picture with that same duct tape?? One would have to be NUTS! This foreman juror has no reasoning ability.. what a total airhead flakely loon!

I would feel so ganged up on and wonder if you would be allowed to go to the judge about it.
If the other jurors are actually violating protocol, then yes you could speak to the judge about it.

Just trying to get an idea of how they deal with the 1 lone person before it gets to the point of a hung jury and if you can report to the judge that they are insulting you, if they are or if this ever happens in the jury room.
Do you think there is some kind of rule here? The possibilities are as endless as the combinations of personalities that you could be dealing with.

They caved to whatever was easiest.
6 were for manslaughter in the beginning.
They did have an alternative to the death penalty and still Casey could have gotten murder 1 without the death penalty. They had options , it was the George Anthony trial they were listening to according to Juror Foreman #11. Casey was exonerated in Juror # 11's mind.. she just lied and had bad behavior.. it was all George Anthony...
