I was on a jury three years ago

19. okay.

that's how i read it. I suspect we'll never know with this jury if that was a factor or not. I've no doubt that the judge led them to acquit. Maybe they're just all right wing racists. I actually could not watch this trial because just the headlines about the judge's hijinks upset me so much. After 4 years of trump and knowing how important every vote in 2022 will be, I'm taking a sabbatical from the news this year, though of course I cannot escape it entirely and still read DU every day.
