DU has become repub central since this trial started. Alerts are pretty fruitless although I did get one post taken down Obvious troll republicans have been allowed in and are still here.

I have said that I thought GZ following TM was creepy, but that does not mean he was guilty or innocent.

I have not watched a single second of the trial.

I couldn't say whether he was guilty or not (except of murder....I didn't see any evidence supporting a murder charge).

I did watch and read a lot of the evidence in the trial. I work in the legal field, so I find all this interesting.

This jury was 3-3. Based on the jury comments, it appears that one of the "LEAVE IT" votes didn't understand the picture because the alerter didn't provide any explanation at all. And based on the comments of another "LEAVE IT" vote, it sounds as if the juror got confused and thought they were voting on the OP.

In other words, if the alerter had provided an explanation, and if the apparently confused juror had been more careful, this could have been a 5-1 hide.

I can't force people to not make mistakes. But maybe this will teach people to be a little more careful in the future.

I think maybe you're thinking that the OP is approving of the defense?

To me, either REASON doesn't matter. Either something is offensive or it's not. I don't get it, really, so I don't think it's any more offensive than many other posts I'm seeing.
