7 out 4 (with 1 undecided) would have acquitted, but 2 jurors absolutely bullied the others into voting guilty? That these 2 jurors wore everyone down for a guilty verdict? One juror stated (the one that had a family emergency and left) stated that he felt very intimidated by these 2 in the jurors room.

If that fact wasn't there, it was on a talking head show that I happened to catch.

I think where the juror "got the info" was the 24/7 coverage that the prosecution blanketed Manitapoc (?) with before the trial, one of the tidbits dropped was the rape and torture of the victim. Avery's lawyers were successful in getting those charges dropped but you can't unring a bell, the prosecution knowing exactly what they were doing when they kept giving breaking news stories on the case for 18 months before trial.
