[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If I were a juror, I’d first vote to acquit on all charges (too much chaos to blame the officer trying to control a huge guy on drugs). But if a bunch of others want to convict, then I’d tell them that I’ll go along with manslaughter and we’re home for dinner. Or keep pushing for more and we’ll be here day after day because I’m not convicting this guy of murder.

Pretty sure the others would take my offer and call it a day.

^^definitely likely scenario.

I would never agree to either of those, so if we were both on the jury, guess we'd be there for a while until we declared hung jury.[/quote]

Same. No way I’d go along with that BS. [/quote]

This. You're supposed to vote your conscience, not negotiate to get home fastest. I'd like to believe I would hold my ground until convinced otherwise. [/quote]

I don't think the jurors here are the want to go home fast types...Presumably the people who really just want to go home fast would have found a way to get out of jury duty for a murder trial the first place. Id think it would be pretty easy to get disqualified for this jury.[/quote]

Not so sure. The kind of people who didn't follow the Floyd case and had no prejudice about it are not really likely to be engaged, critical thinkers. Much more likely to want to just put an end to what must have been an extremely difficult several weeks.  [/quote]

They released profiles of the jurors yesterday and that did not seem to be the case on the basis of those profiles. [/quote]
