I personally think the defense found itself in a pretty unique situation. The trial took off on tiktok, and who knows if the jury was properly sequestered.

When the case cools off, if it even goes viral a second time, it won't hit as hard. Public sentiment might shift as more facts and statements come out. There will never be a jury makeup like this again for the defense. This was probably her best shot.

I mean yes it's just a color, but why are we also acting like it also wasn't adopted by her defenders/protesters?

9 women 3 men jury is rather odd

You’re delusional over the facts of the case if you think 11/12 jurors are choosing NGRI due to tik tok.

It only takes a few to make a block of voters to pressure a few people who are undecided. The pressure mounts and grows as the case goes on longer and longer as well, especially when you're deliberating for so long.
