I wasn't directed this at YOU personally. It is directed to those in general that I see bad mouthing the jury members. They did their job as they believed it should be done. Whether you or anyone else likes the result, they did what they were asked to do.
I find it really sad that people are now slamming the jury. But then, we all had information they did not have. We had years to develop our opinions. They did not. If they had, they would not have been on the jury. Most of us developed our opinions by discussing it for months with others. The jurors were not allowed to talk about it until deliberation began. Very easy to cast stones from the outside.
You can believe anything you want. I am also entitled to my opinion. It seems every time I express an opinion different than yours, you jump on me and accuse me of telling your what to think. Last time, you said it was my method. All I did then was express an opinion different than yours. You seem to take it as a personal attack. I don't remember ever directing anything to you. Believe me, I won't. Maybe you are taking it personally because my opinion differs from yours. I left the prior threads because I didn't want to upset people, but I really don't think I should have to leave because my opinion isn't the one of popular choice.
I honestly don't care if you post here or not. Any sort of disagreement towards
you, and you would announce that you didn't feel welcome and you were leaving, each time. I said it to you early on, or to someone else...you're certainly free to stay or to leave as you see fit. I have since ignored any statements (until today) you have made that you don't feel welcome and aren't coming back, for that very reason...whatever makes you feel sensitive, if you don't want to be on a thread (or, read and not post), that's up to you. I've made that decision myself many many times over the years, as others have, I'm sure.
You didn't say me specifically about thinking the jury would be considered saints, but I'm certainly in the group, along with others here, who believe the jury got it wrong. You lumped everyone together, and that lump included me.
In prior threads, you questioned why the big deal about THIS trial, yet you were one of the few on each and every thread, with the inside information because you said it was on TV daily in your area. It seemed as tho you were as enthralled as anyone, yet you had an issue with everyone else. That's what I pointed out before, and that's what offended you.
You think the jury deliberated correctly and made the correct decision. Wonderful! I, and others, had questions and doubts about their deliberations and their verdict, which are being proven in the jurors' statements and experts' evaluations, not just a DISer who was on a jury.
We all KNOW that the verdict sticks, that this is our system, etc. We get it. Done deal.
But YOU called those of us who feel this way about the jury decision "sore losers" who would have been calling the jurors "saints" if the verdict was different, and you consider THAT just "a different opinion" and not personal??
