I disagree, jury might just want to actually review all evidence again outside of a courtroom which isn't really a big deal.

Oh good, now I have to worry another 18 hours or so that they're going to let a pedophile walk on some technicality. :argh:

Usually I'm the sort that, whenever a vote or trial shows up in the media, I read about it, note down my vote, and then see what the actual result is as a sort of "self-check" to make sure that I considered all of the moving parts and elements. In this case, though, I'm really struggling to see anything I could have missed. It'd be easy to take the "if I'm wrong, it's because he's a religious figure" potshot, but I'm genuinely curious as to what a "not guilty" verdict on this would be. Some minor procedural gently caress-up I guess?

Edit: ⬇️ I guess that's a fair point.

Juror(s) that didn't understand a bit of the computer stuff, but they saw that both sides had smart-sounding people talking about it, so the only possible conclusion is "who knows?", which means not guilty.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Yeah, the longer they deliberate, the better the chances of "not guilty"

Because of "confusing" computer stuff, and also the "maybe it was someone else doing it" that the defense postulated.

Which would be a bad thing.

I applaud your faith in humanity, but the idea that jurors are all intelligent, thoughtful people who consider all the evidence and understand all the procedures, is totally wrong.

If he walks it will 100% be because the the jurors are equally religiously hosed in the head as the Duggars, or are the sort of idiot who think the Deep State FBI is plotting to falsely imprison proper God-fearing Americans like Josh and President Trump. And those biases pushed them to believe the defense's crappy expert and implausible Ghost Not Me story.

Maybe I missed it but I wish they had explained that Linux is not some elite expert computer expert highly technical thing, Chromebooks, which they are likely aware of being incredibly safe, easy to use machines are in fact Linux devices, that their TV very well may be running some version of Linux, do they really think there is a realistic chance that someone is going to hack into their Roku and download CSAM? It's about as likely, yet, still technically possible as the admitted child rapist just happened to have an elite hacker using their work computer to download CSAM.

During one of the many times I was called to report to jury duty, I never got placed on a trial.

A lady who spent the first part of the morning yelling about how someone in the deli department at the Ralph’s market poisoned her potato salad was called, questioned, and placed on a jury.

It made me realize the reality of a jury system.

One of my favorite aspects is in Florida you can request technical, civil suits be moved to a jury setting. The jury can then vote that they don't know what the gently caress and move it back to a trained judge, thus wasting literally everyones time

The intrinsic issue with the jury system has always been that the people selected to juries are basically by definition those too stupid to be able to get out of jury duty.
