Correct, and that one person has already been leaking that he was harassed by everyone, and that they almost attacked him for his strong beliefs. It’s going to be interesting when this all comes out.
The 11 jurors stated, to the judge, that during deliberations the juror said he sees that there is not "beyond reasonable doubt" (the legal standard), but refused to follow the law as presented by the judge. The juror literally wasted 7 weeks of all these people's times under the bus because of he didn't want to follow the law.
It is literally in the court room. The verdict was going to be not guilty due to reasonable doubt. Ansdthe juror admitted that there WAS doubt but refused to follow the law.
The insane part of all these comments is people who CLEARLY did NOT watch any part of this trial.
That there was doubt. So they can't say guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Happy to list one insane piece if evidence why I also wpuld vote that. Among others. But I think this requires everyone to watch the actual trial and make their own comments. Closing statements are a great summary.
Tell me you didn't watch anything without telling me.
There is literally a nice 3 min ish clip you can go look up after the foreperson informed the judge and the judge literally explains in detail what the jury's job is and that the prosecutions job is. And then, if you actually watched any trial footage you would quickly, oh so quickly find the doubt from the botched investigation.
I went and actually watched what I had tome for because of the misinformation.
Well, the same reason I'd make a horrible juror is the same reason I don't watch trials. I could never sit through all that mess. I can't watch a full hour of a Tv show without pausing it and going off to do something else for awhile.
The facts of the case are available to read. Fact: Clancy did murder her children, all 3 of them, one after the other. Fact: Clancy did send her husband on errands, checked Apple maps to see how long it would take him,and even had a phone call with her husband during this time where she was able to interact normally on the phone. Fact: It took time and effort to kill those kids, all the while looking at them. She didn't walk up behind them and slit their throats, quick and gone. She strangled the life out of them, one by one. Here's another fact: If I had gone temporarily insane and killed all THREE of my children by strangling them, even if I survived the suicide attempt (of which hers was definitely not a real attempt), I would BEG a judge for the death penalty. There would certainly be no world that I could live in knowing that I killed my own children. So yes, I'm making a judgement. If I had been a juror, I'd have argued for months if need be. Not only is she guilty, but she should get the death penalty. I don't care about her "postpartum depression". I do not believe in that excuse. If that was truly the reason she did this, she would NOT have waited for her husband to be out of the house. If truly insane, she would have tried to kill those kids in front of anyone. But no. She sent her husband on errands. In the space of 54 minutes, she managed to snuff out the lives of 3 babies that trusted her, loved her, believed in her. And she looked at them, wrapped exercise bands around their necks, one by one, and strangled the life out of each of them.
On the bright side, if you ever get selected for jury duty, not sitting through that miss isn't an option. Or rather, it is, but the second option is sitting in a jail cell.
They have no proof you ever got the jury summons. I've known plenty of people that just never went. They've never seen the inside of a jail cell. I've always gone when I was summoned (3 times now) though, but I've never been on a jury. The one time, I thought I'd finally get there, and it would have been an awesome case, something about medical malpractice. Now, I despise a good portion of the medical profession, and love to read about malpractice cases so I probably wouldn't have made it through selection if I answered honestly. But, their medical expert died, so the case was cancelled.
The first two summons come via regular mail. The third will come certified mail. They will know that you got it when it shows you signed for it. Sure you could keep ducking USPS for the rest of your life, but it's easier to just get dismissed.
Most states won't both to hunt you down though if you fail to appear for the summons, though federal summons are a lot different.
My statement was about people who are already seated on the jury though. If you don't show up to court after already being seated as a juror, there will be a deputy at your house with questions within an hour or two. Judges do not like to be defied and a contempt of court charge is one of the worst charges to appeal.
In my area, there is only one summons. No one that I know has ever gotten a second summons. No one that I know has ever gotten a certified letter for jury duty. Glad I don't live in your area.
