3. No wonder the other jurors wanted to get rid of the former BLM guy

The juror they questioned had worked for the BLM for a short time 20 years ago. He'd made it through voir dire and the trial but when they started deliberations, the other jurors questioned whether he should be on the jury at all. The judge let it happen - I think in an effort to be fair.

I would love to hear that juror's side of things.
