What I would say: Thank you for your service and time. I disagree with your decision but respect it nevertheless. Without people such as yourself serving on duties in fulfillment of their civic duties, America would not have a jury system and an essential right that citizens have, the right to trial by jury, would be unattainable and the criminal justice system would come to a grinding halt. I would be so grateful if you could further explain your decision and the key factors that influenced it, and perhaps answer questions as to your reasoning; however, if you choose not to do so that is your right and I completely understand.
Criticism, threads and insults are quite simply unacceptable. We can disagree with the verdict. However, the right to trial by jury is one of the fundamental guarantees afforded by the US constitution. In fact that the right to trial by jury is provided for in an entrenched constitution is one of the tenets of the US justice system that I most highly rate and wish were present in the UK Justice System. If your going to have a jury system you must respect the verdict and the jury who render it no matter how much you may disagree with it and them.
