I was just "odd juror out" on a 5-1 leave...

Starting to question my own judgement right now...

1. I dislike being the 1 in a 5-1 decision!

[loli phabay]

2. yeah, its makes you think if you misread something

Or your the only person who understood.

[femmocrat]

3. When that happens to me...

I always wonder if I understood the post. But then some jurors probably don't read it all that thoroughly either.

[nomorenomore08]

4. For the record, it was a fairly mild post. I don't think the person should be PPR'd or anything.

I just happened to sympathize more with the alerter in this case.

[newcriminal]

5. but the post wasn't against the rules.

I read the whole thread, voted to leave it.

[nomorenomore08]

6. Fair enough. The alerter and I thought it had a little too much of that "libertarian" stink to it.

But obviously that's subjective, so I don't expect everyone here to agree.

7. Who cares what others vote?

Yours is your opinion. Stick with it.

Recall the 1 juror in Zimmerman/Trayvon case who people complained didn't 'stick with' her 'guilty' inclination?

[nomorenomore08]

8. I remember. And I would never, ever want something like that on my conscience.

Even if I had to hold myself up to public derision and ridicule to stop a "not guilty" verdict, I'd like to think I would.

9. It's happen to me a few times including once recently

Look at it this way, your vote wasn't the deciding one. No damage, no foul.

10. It's happened to me in the past.

11. I just alerted on a blatant, obvious spam.

Jury verdict came back 5-1 to hide.

[Dash87]

12. Usually when that happens to me, I still don't agree with the decision.

The other jurors say things like, "they're a troll, but you should report them to MIRT and keep this post up so that MIRT can see it." A few times I just misread the post or missed the internal, pointless drama that goes on here.
