Saturday Six – Episode 378

Patrick’s Place Saturday Six – Episode 378

1. How much attention did you pay to the Casey Anthony trial?
Not much. Only what was on the evening news.

2. How justified do you think people are in their outrage at the jury’s verdict?
Ok, you asked. I feel that the prosecutor was over zealous in making a name for himself. He went for the maximum sentence, the death sentence, when he had only circumstantial evidence. I think the jury didn’t want to sentence her to death on such flimsy evidence, that if the prosecutor went for life in prison he would have gotten a conviction.

3. How often do you watch shows like Nancy Grace, who focuses a great deal of attention on cases like this?
Hun? Nancy who? I never heard of her.

4. If you had been a juror in that case, would you have talked to the media right after the verdict was delivered?
No way, there are so many people out there who want to lynch the juror.

5. If you were a juror and you were later offered money for an interview, how likely would you be willing to accept payment to appear on television to discuss the case?
See above.

6. Would you support a law that would prohibit a juror from profiting from being on a jury in this manner? Why or why not?
No. They were ordered to jury duty, they committed no crimes. There are no laws the prohibit the judge and prosecutor from profiting from the trail, why punish the jury.
