      The upside is that you’d get infinite book deals and speaking engagements… the downside is never ending death threats.

      Yea, I’d probably urge any jurors to retain anonymity.

      Lucky that the jurors didn’t have any opinions until the end of the trial, so hopefully that minimizes things to a spike of words, spread among 12-20 people.

      Yeah, regardless of what the final decision is about a third of the country would…be less than happy with you. I figure it’s at least even odds we get a hung jury just because of political polarization.
