walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

I heard her say that after the verdict was reached they all cried & my first thought was, great, just great, emotional females.

Deliberations in a case like this have gotta be tough and exhausting; a lot on their shoulders.

There were mixed-sex juries for OJ Simpson and Jodi Arias; I remember some jurors were reported as crying when verdicts were reached and/or read. As long as they focused on the evidence and the law during the deliberations, crying afterwards isn't weird or a sign of over emotionalism, in my opinion.

Allegedly, she nixed the book deal.

Wise that it was nixed, for now. IMO.

Doesn't bother me if jurors write books, but this juror's immediate announcement and then retraction makes me believe that she really didn't think it through, nor understand the magnitude (in terms of public/media scrutiny) of what was being decided in that deliberation room.

If it was the publisher who actually pulled the plug, I'm glad they did.

If she feels compelled to share her experience (or her husband is the driver) for whatever reason, it can wait. JMO.
