I had hoped there might have been one or two members of the jury strong enough in their beliefs to stand up and hang the jury.
I did not expect all twelve to have the courage to acquit!!
Those twelve jurors may have destroyed their lives depending upon how hard the leftist/commie scum comes after them. And yet they stood up, just like courageous Americans have stood up since our founding!
Well done!! Proof that the American spirit is still alive!!

Not to lessen their status at all but that jury did exactly what ever jury should do. They listened to the evidence, the jury instructions and followed the law and not the news that was surronding them.
Unfortunetly what I just stated is not how most juries work these days.
Yes, those jurors didn’t bow to the leftist terrorism. They, each and every unknown one, have my appreciation.
Somehow they need to hear what a good job they did.
They are ordinary Americans like most people. Despite what media scum and many DEMOCRATs think, people like the jurors are in the majority. The Red-Blue political map, with red being the majority is proof.
Folks doing the job society requires is what responsible people do. I doubt they all have the same political beliefs, or the same religion. We already know they weren't all of the same gender or same race. People following the evidence came to a decision.
They demonstrated more courage, understanding of the law and constitutional rights than many Supreme Court justices.
The judge and jury are aces in my book.
I applaud them, but they are in jeopardy for the remainder of their lives.
My guess is they didn't appreciate the prosecutor threatening them with an AR-15.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
