Re: Try again
Having recently sat on a jury I'm inclined to agree with the judge here. I'm not judging whether she should or shouldn't have done what she did; clearly she shouldn't have and the warning he gave covers that. When the law is clearly explained to you in court as a juror it's very different to a snap decision after reading an article. The reality is that she probably didn't break a law as it's written and so no conviction would have happened. What the result would have been is over a dozen members of the public wasting a week of their lives and careers listening to the case.
Remember here that court isn't about right and wrong or good and evil. It's (usually) about whether someone did something described in a law in the manner it's described.
