(11,065 posts)chosen on purpose. There's no reason on earth that the prosecution would not have wanted to get rid of her. Some of the things she said were a tailor made dream for the defense.
As for the book deal, that had to have already been in the works before she was ever picked for the jury... how could she have signed a book deal so quickly if she didn't already know she'd be on the jury? And now suddenly the publisher is saying she no longer wants to do the book. Hm. Seems to me that she suddenly realized she should be keeping her big yap shut or be found out.
This woman is VERY hinky. It's no small thing to ignore the judge's admonition during trial to ignore certain testimony and then go on national tv to tell the world she relied heavily on the testimony she was supposed to ignore in order to find Zimmerman not guilty. Further, she had to have also kept this from the other jurors since there's just no way that at LEAST one other would have noted that admonition by the judge. If that was such a big reason for her finding of not guilty why on earth would this have been kept out of deliberations?
She IS looking more and more like a ringing and one the prosecution knew about. There is no reasonable explanation for them to keep her on the panel.
