re: Jessica Chambers jury says Not Guilty, but 7 say Guilty on Poll. Chaos in the courtroom

Jurors in Louisiana aren't much better. I got summoned for jury duty and 12 people were called up for voir dire. A kind of inept defense lawyer basically said, "Here is the defendant. If I had to ask each of you for a verdict right now what would you say?" And the even more inept possible jurors each replied, "Um, guilty I guess." At which point the judge had to remind them all that we live in the USA where a person is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. And all those morons were picked for the jury. Glad I got out of that one, I've already served in two juries anyway.
