    It was like 1-D chess, not 27: “if he has a mistrial, the next jury will convict him.”

    That’s it, that was her thinking.

    She fucked up real bad. 🤷‍♂️ Good on her for trying to correct it, but the right thing to do was vote not guilty because you didn’t think he was proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

      Oh and by the way, make sure everyone is aware of jury nullification: until the wealthy follow the rule of law, you should feel free to vote not guilty even if you think they’re guilty.

      I know I will be thinking about that the next time I’m on a jury.
