Wait so this article is basically him saying that the system worked?<p>That&#x27;s the impression that I got. Even disregarding his early learnings towards high-school level leftist protest and mistrust of the government, doesn&#x27;t his careful consideration of the case show the reasons why we use a jury system? Even if the &#x27;mob&#x27; e.g. the other jurors decide that a person is guilty, one or two reasonable arguments can decide otherwise.<p>It seems to me that everything worked out as it should. I wouldn&#x27;t feel bad if I was the author. (oh and he&#x27;ll be back in court, serving a case in most states only gives you a 3-5 year reprieve from jury duty)
