Interesting, but in the end she did the right thing, she didn't vote with what clearly is emotion. Under the law they couldn't convict.
That's the ultimate in the definition of justice. Sometimes we don't like the law, but we have to live by the law.
My dad was in a jury for a murder case where a guy came home and found his wife in bed with his brother. the poor guy went to the kitchen got a knife and killed both of them.
Because he left the room and had a cooling off period to get the knife it because a planned first degree murder. Every single juror had sympathy for the guy. Probably a lot of them said the same thing, but at the end of the day they had to go against their heart and convict.
