In reply to the discussion: UPDATED: Mistrial is declared in sexual-assault trial of entertainer Bill Cosby [View all]beachbum bob
(10,437 posts)took over 200 in the jury pool to seat a jury. I was the last juror select and believe me I tried everything to get out of it but judge would have none of it. No way he would allow a hung jury either and madr that clear but when you have one or 2 jurors refusing to discuss evidence pertinent to the case, not much can be done, you don't decide on "feelings". The 10 of us saw it for what it was, a clear case of railroading. I think the judge purposely let us deliberate uno nearly 9 pm before we took a dinner break and we had to get our family get some clothes for the overnight sequester. Taking us 30 miles to hotel was involved in his plot too as we did not get to bed till midnight and lucky to get 6 hours sleep.
Cosby is a POS, and next time the trial should fare better.
