发帖数: 12 | 1 What is all the fuss about the jury and the juror making a public sign?
Could there be desciplinary actions against unbecoming jurors? | t***y
发帖数: 11 | 2 I listened to a WBUR talk show on this topic yesterday or the day before
yesterday. it's available online. The program is called "The Connection"
hosted by Dick Gordon. It's searchable by date or topic.
The issue is whether the judge should declare a mistrial because of the
alleged hostility between juror #4 and the other ones.
There's very little you can do to jurors. Maybe contempt of court.

发帖数: 12 | 3 It was claimed that the juror (or the others?) was not delibrating in good
faith, and that a verdict might not be reachable. I think it is normal,
even if it leads to no verdict. But making a public gesture and inviting
media scrutiny? I think the juror might be out of line.
I heard on TV people would solicit jurors's opinions after trials, and
their words could be used to appeal. The lawyer's advice to jurors: shut
up. It seems jurors could get into trouble if they choose to be careless.
