Oh the way that note was authored, there was almost certainly someone with a close knowledge of court proceedings/the law in there IMO. It takes me back to the judge choosing the foreperson before the jury had even been selected. Also makes me think of the one jury member who according to reports had their head in their hands during the defense closing argument and eyes closed/staring upwards at some points. Then the judge chose the foreperson - was it also a male? Then we hear of these juror notes, authored extremely well, IMO doesn’t sound like it is by an average Joe member of the public. I am appalled at the way this trial has been conducted, I am angry. All this pure hatred towards KR, who should be awarded the right of Innocent until proven Guilty.
I am completely disgusted at how she has been treated as a defendant. She is the accused not the convicted. I will admit I have in the past been guilty of believing in someone’s guilt before conviction but only when the evidence is very solid, almost irrefutable. The evidence in this case is far from solid, its shaky at best. We have police officers talking disgustingly about KR, we have an IMO quite possible cover up involving witnesses/officers and IMO this has spilled over into some downright questionable decisions during this trial.
The jury note sounds possibly to me like someone who is familiar with the law IMO and if that is true, if a member of the jury has knowledge of the law, they should never have been a juror in the first place.
The mistrial is neither a victory nor a loss. They will try again, because the reputation of law enforcement and the justice system as a whole is at stake. Desperate measures will always be taken to protect ‘their own’. They want KR to suffer for this, she has to take the fall in their eyes. Because if what quite possibly may be the ‘truth’ is exposed, too many people will fall and so will the public’s trust in the justice system.
It’s been a farce IMO from beginning to end, the prosecution were allowed to have officers give ‘expert testimony’ that only a doctor or medical examiner or someone who qualifies as an expert should give. While defense witnesses were prevented from going further in their opinions and reasons for those opinions.
I don’t hold out hope for an acquittal as I suspect the judge will remain the same for a retrial. I expect KR to be tried again and again until either a conviction is obtained or it’s impossible to not drop the case entirely. I also expect the next jury to contain a majority of members from certain backgrounds, of certain gender, of certain professions IMO…
I don’t know how anyone who’s follows this case and watched this trial can think this doesn’t stink to high heaven? JMO but any time a case has a defense of ‘police cover up’ it’s action stations, decisions are made to prevent the downfall of officers and if some have to come out looking bad it’s always as few as possible IMO. By the looks of it Proctor took one for the team in this instance, of course he should have been exposed but IMO so should many others…
All MOO
