anything. CBS tells the story here.
Associated Press reports about two jurors jurors in the Michael Jackson case who have now changed their story, within weeks of announcing book deals. Here's what they had to say for themselves according to AP:
"Cook and Hultman said they agreed to go along with the other jurors when it
became apparent that they would never convict the pop star. The two denied
being motivated by money and tried to explain why they were coming forward
now. "
Now correct me if I am wrong... But isn't the purpose of unanimous jury voting and
the possibility of a mistrial there to prevent this sort of thing? I held out for 3 hours once during a trial
alone
just because the sentence was too weak! (Long story, will detail later if asked) Not because I'm just that stubborn about my own way, but because it was the RIGHT THING TO DO! Someone who has committed a crime needs to be punished accordingly, and you need to stand for that even if the other 11 MORONIC INDIVIDUALS don't give a rat's posterior! So what if your not going to convict him... Hanging a jury sends a message too! As a juror, its your responsibility to the the victim, the people and even the defendant!
Chilling question: Does the lack of fortitude amongst the American people demonstrate a gradually increaseing failure in the U.S. justice system?
