Iā€™m old enough to remember being put on a jury as an honor and privilege. Such a disgrace society can be these days!

I keep trying to organize my thoughts for a coherent comment but your article is totally discombobulating. My father was a public defender and was quite good at his job because he truly enjoyed going to trial, and was adept at presenting his argument to the jury. He loved jury selection and the theater of a trial with the jury as an audience of 12. I canā€™t imagine what his thought would be if he were here today to see this activist juror phenomena. It totally corrupts the legal system. A system that has enough problems of itā€™s own without jurors perverting it further with their own ideas of what the world should look like and who needs to be punished.

Well I found the article disturbing. My mom was put into a fraudulent and illegal conservatorship the judge is a crook and so is the lawyer conservator. Her little estate of 150k is now 90k as the court helped themselves to her money for payIng 5 monthly bills & 3 annual bills that everyone has. The burn rate was $500.00 per month they charged $900.00 a month to pay her bills which I did 4 free I buried my mom the day b4ore Motherā€™s Day the cship denial access to her money contributed to her death ā˜ ļø she was 101 and a whole lot of fun the court declared her incapacitated she was evaluated by court physchologist who said she had mild cognizant disorder but judge ruled against her without asking her a single question.

I share this story bc I have been promoting all juries 4 all courts all the time making judges less valuable denying them overturning a juryā€™s decision. Now with your story I am depressed to learn the deceit of some jurors &self dealing 4 profit .

Cship/gship abuse is rampant & probate court is a racket the world over. The hood judges know who the bad judges and attorneys are but as officers of the court they have done nothing. No confidence in the courts from traffic court to the bc us Supreme Court a disgrace

This is the most outstanding interview I've read in, well, ever. Not just for how you uncovered the subversive activist jurors that could be text from a Grisham novel, but how direct , no nonsense questions asked with honest INTENT seems to be your super power.

I may sound a bit over the top, but this open lying without consequence has been without a doubt the most socially destructive action that has pitted parent against child and friend or even spouses. Liars affect all of society.

I do believe, my dear, you've discovered legitimate grounds for an appeal and I really hope he obtains true honest justice with this explosive info.

I have so much more to say but it would end up being clutter, probably. But your work is exceptional and such a rarity anymore in this age of deceptive everything, with clear intent to deceive for personal gain, it's simply a joy to read direct honest reporting with a necessary moral question. Bravo!

Are there any repercussions to the juror??

Why canā€™t the jury selectors get background (or Google!) checks on these people?

In Australia Iā€™m pretty sure jurors are not allow to be interviewed or make any financial gains from being on the jury yet in America it seems this is okay?

Sounds like a very broken system - jurors should not be loosing any income to be on a jury.
