Well that was an emotional roller coaster for the family. Fortunately, this was a very wise and attentive jury. I honestly think the big difference between KC and this case is the sequestration of the jury. For this jury it was like going to work everyday and they could go home every night.
They did put up with a lot. They couldn't talk about the trial, their spouses had to screen things they'd recorded, they couldn't let anyone know they were a juror, and I'm sure a lot of people figured it out. They probably had to tell people a lot that they couldn't talk about the case and many other inconveniences I may have missed.
The good thing is they could go home and hug their family, read their kids bedtime stories, eat dinner with the family and do all of the other things that let a family have a normal family life. They probably didn't feel like running out of the courtroom and into the free world like the KC jury probably did.
In the end all of the talking heads were just that. Talking heads. Those who said that the men would go easy on her because she's pretty were wrong. Those who said the women would be sympathetic, were wrong. These jurors took their jobs seriously. They took notes, they paid attention and didn't rush to judgment.
I have to give applause all the way around. Juan, Flores, Judge Sherry, the prosecution witness', and all of those who supported the Alexander family.
It's nice to see justice served in a high profile case for once.
