Fox posted another interview with a juror (they didn't say her #) & told her about what was being found out about J 17 & among the things she said was "this juror put us through hell!'
When I heard her troubled voice I felt much concern for these 11.

Looks like the 11 will be interviewed tomorrow. GMA
Yes Miss Haley, I think that what these other jurors were subjected to is just indefensible, whether it be at the hands of a deceitful/unethical fellow juror or a Judge that seems to have been rather dismissive of their written request for assistance and/or to their very real concerns.
I think everyone can agree that jurors should be protected to ensure the sanctity of their decisions and the integrity of the jury process, but I adamantly maintain that
all jurors should be afforded this courtesy--no one juror is any more important than another, EVER. I find it interesting that the media is hyper focused on the fact the J17's information got out there, they appear to address the fact that each and every one of the juror's names were released as an after thought.
Also, I am especially outraged that these jurors sought and did not receive guidance from the one person that they counted on--these jurors as seen by their statements did much more than express that they were deadlocked. Because IMO for a Judge to dismiss the concerns of 11 jurors for fear of appeal (which I desperately hope is not the case), is far more destructive than anything I can imagine for jurors and the jury process.
It is absolutely time to bring out into the OPEN the videos and transcripts of everything related to this trial to help determine what really happened here once and for all!!
ETA: I see where AZL has posted that under the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the only choices JSS had were to either declare a mistrial or give the Allen Charge to the jurors at that time. WOW, replacing a juror for any reason is just not feasible in AZ precisely due to a potential appeal. That is just plain sad and so discouraging. So for all intents and purposes everything that happens in AZ Criminal Courts regarding DP cases is determined out of fear not actual Justice because ultimately the 9th court makes the decision.
