So two jurors currently have book deals. Both claim to have been among the initial 3 who wanted to convict, but were ultimately persuaded to acquit.
One of these two jurors, a 79-year-old woman, says that she now believes Jackson was guilty and that the other jurors who convinced her to acquit "should be ashamed of themselves."
This makes me insane! SHE had a duty to give her individualized opinion, and apparently caved to other people's opinions. Meanwhile, the others who voted to acquit apparently believed he was not guilty of the charges, and so they did their jobs as jurors, even if one disagrees with them.
But this weak-minded fool with the book deal failed to do her job, violated her oath to give the case her own judgment, and she thinks the OTHER jurors should be ashamed of themselves?! [Scream.]
