Let me remind you.

[sheshe2]

There were 6 men and 3 women on E. Jean Caroll's jury. The men and women collectively voted against trump.

They stood for all of us.

[claudette]

1. Yes they did

When I saw there were twice as many men on the jury I honestly was worried. Dump did try to give the impression that “boys will be boys.” Thanks goodness those men were NOTHING like the orange criminal.

[lapucelle]

2. And they reached the verdict so quickly.

[sheshe2]

6. Three hours.

They were in full agreement from the start.

[mcar]

23. Twitter joke I saw

said (paraphrasing), yeah, we know he's guilty but we want one more free lunch!

[sheshe2]

26. Ha.

Saw something about that.

They didn't even get that. They rocked.

[JuJuChen]

3. when I heard one of them listened to Republican Radio I got nervous

[elleng]

4. New Yorkers!!!

[sheshe2]

7. New York New York!

[mcar]

5. Apparently, a few of them were MAGAs

Commenter on Nicole Wallace's show said that people take their oath as jurors seriously, regardless of their politics.

I am amazed.

[sheshe2]

8. That made it the perfect verdict.

[gab13by13]

19. 2 jurors were Magats,

[elleng]

9. Good to hear, but I've always thought this was true.

(One of my great experiences was on a jury in a federal case, guy tried to rip off 9/11 fund thru fraud. We found him not guilty because govt didn't prove it's case.)

[Orrex]

15. Same

I was foreman on a jury in 2008/09. 3rd degree murder was among the charges, but although every member of the jury was personally sure that the defendant was guilty, was all agreed that the prosecution failed to prove it.

It was remarkable to see, because we had a wide range of attitudes and political views, yet we stepped up and did our duty.


Can't say that I'd love to do it over and over again, but it was very interesting to serve.

[soldierant]

29. That happened to me when I was in the military

and sat on a special court martial. The government didn't prove its case, and we had tp acquit. Every one of us had a gut feeling the defendant was guilty as sin so we were holding our noses, but it just was not proven.

[dhol82]

20. For these people, that was astonishing!

I never think of MAGATs as being able to make rational choices.

[mcar]

24. Offers some hope, doesn't it? nt

[dhol82]

27. One hopes.

[Cha]

10. Even Better.. TY she

[BigmanPigman]

11. THIS is what democracy looks like!

[sheshe2]

14. Feels good, doesn't it.

[BOSSHOG]

12. I sat on a few court martials while in the canoe club

Can’t speak for all but it was as if my head were cleansed when we were sworn in and I became mr neutral juror able to weigh all evidence without prejudice. And it was a good feeling.

[sheshe2]

13. Excellent!

Thank you, BOSSHOG.

[mcar]

25. I love this description!

[Hortensis]

16. Yes. They did their job.

I hope those angry at their verdicts aren't able to hurt them. And are quickly distracted by other triggers for unreasoned rage. Back to normal life.

[sheshe2]

18. Posted about that here.

'You could get killed': National security analyst issues sobering warning to E. Jean Carroll jurors
A CNN national security analyst on Tuesday issued a sobering warning after the judge in E. Jean Carroll’s civil case advised jurors not to identify themselves.

Juliette Kayyem suggested that there are safety considerations for jurors after Judge Lewis Kaplan advised them before their dismissal not to identify themselves although they’re now allowed to.

Kaplan issued the admonition after a Manhattan jury ruled that former President Donald Trump was liable for defamation and sexual abuse and awarded Carroll $5 million.


"My advice to you is not to identify yourselves. Not now and not for a long time,” Kaplan said.


“If you’re one who elects to speak to others and to identify yourselves to others, I direct you not to identify anyone else who sat on this jury.

30. Good! Notice Judge Kaplan DIRECTS anyone who wants to talk

not to identify any other members. Also sounds like he believes they're still anonymous. Best wishes to them.

Happy Wednesday, Sheshe.

[ancianita]

17. Yes. This is important. The 6 men and 3 women believed nothing from one side of this case.

They stood for calling every single Trump lie a lie.

They stood for the justice and reparation for all of us.


Thank you for this important reminder.

[sheshe2]

22. They did this.

[Upthevibe]

21. Kick. n/t

[bluboid]

28. I immediately noticed the same thing...

I love it when men speak up & defend women's rights...
