Chauvin Murder Trial

You know exactly what I meant. Stop pretending. If someone in the mob threatens a witness, would you be saying that that is irrelevant since the person says they would have voted the way the mob wanted them to anyways? You like the BLM mob so you're giving them a pass. You don't like the Italian mob so you would not give them a pass.

I’m saying that her voting her conscience is a sign of fairness. If she voted ‘guilty’ only out of fear, that would be unfair.

You can’t accept what she said about her concerns regarding civil unrest and at the same time reject what she said about how she decided her vote. She’s either credible or she isn’t. 

And I don’t give organised criminals a pass regardless their national origin or ethnicity, I just don’t view BLM as a criminal organisation.

We don't know how the fear of people showing up at their houses could have subconsciously had an impact on any jurors thinking. Just because this alternate juror says it wouldn't have had anything to do with her decision, that doesn't make it so. It could have had a subconscious impact on her thinking that she is not consciously aware of.

Either way, there should be no reason for us to not agree that jurors fearing for their safety is a worthy issue to bring up. No juror should fear for their safety.
