Here is my 2 cents:

There are numerous reports that the other jurors could be heard screaming at this brother to change his mind and that he “didn’t provide any evidence to support his decision.” He probably just got to the point that he knew they wouldn’t listen to him and decided to stay quiet. More than that he knew as a black man if he raised his voice they would roll out the “angry black man” stereotype against him and try to get him tossed from the jury.

As a black person listening to these other jurors go out in the media and trash this guy speaks volumes about what most likely happened in that room. Hats off to this man for staying calm, staying strong, and making the CORRECT decision.

The fucking guy even said he wasn’t voting on reasonable doubt, he was voting based on nothing. This brother made a fucking terrible decision with literally nothing to base that decision on by his own damn testimony

Did this “brother” say that or did the other jurors say he said that?

They are willing to condemn based on hearsay but a white woman that killed her kids walks away with insanity

More came out on the juror 🤯 it’s not good and there may be perjury involved because he lied on the forms about his past criminal activity. This is getting crazy!

As someone who is a mom and has 3 young kids myself, agreed.
