I don't know what happened, but I think they did talk to each other. A few things really bothered me about what this alternate said. Aside from the we's instead of I's, he quoted RC about the "snowballed out of control", the jury was told they were not supposed to consider that testimony as any proof of how Caylee died. It also sounds like they did use the opening statement as evidence, the only other reason was because GA "acted weird". Did they never consider why he would act weird with JB after the accusations that JB was throwing out? Who wouldn't be mad and defensive after being accused of something like that.
I know we have all put so much more thought into this case than the jury did and it is so sad. Maybe they shouldn't have been going out to "special events" baseball games, bowling, special dinners every night. They should have had to sit around and reflect on what they heard in court each day.
I bet none of them will be reading about the case or researching it on their own tonight, tomorrow, or ever. They didn't care enough to look at all the evidence when it was right there in front of them, why would they want to know more about it now. I always had a bad feeling when I heard them always asking for a "special" break and laughing. I think they made their mind up VERY early on in the case.
I also think it went back to jury selection.... they pick people who don't care about what is going on in the world. People who don't care about or ever watch any news. People who sound like they have no kind of person belief or convictions at all. How do you feel about the death penalty? "oh i dont know never thought about it"..... So you want people on a jury who don't think about pretty much anything. People who are gullible enough to believe that people do cover up accidents to look like murder.
Oh one more thing about what this juror said.... something along the lines of "if this ex cop found the car and smelled death he would have surely called the cops". But in the next breath he thinks it IS reasonable that this ex-cop found his grand daughter who accidently drowned in the pool and put duct tape on her and threw her body in a swamp?!?!?!?!?!? I do not understand how this is REASONABLE doubt.
