Observer - you beat me to it! I came on here to post the same link that you did.
No where does it say that Juror #17 was not participating in deliberations but rather she was "ineffective" during deliberations. They also stated that it did improve after the impasse situation.
This is a clear example of how things get twisted when presented through the media.
JSS researched the law very well and given the responses from jurors interviewed, including #17, she found no grounds for the dismissal of this juror OR a mistrial as asked for by Nurmi.
Now, one could say that #17 was lying in her responses to the "Secret", the "Laws of Attraction" and the movie. I am sure a lot of people will believe she was lying.
Again, no where in the minutes is there any indication that she was not being believed. She stated her position and no one challenged it.
More than one juror was accessing their Facebook pages as well.
Because she was the lone holdout for a DP verdict that everyone wanted (well....not Arias) then she must have been a plant or a stealth juror and a liar.
She was entitled to her opinion (whether it be for or against the DP in this case) just as all of the jurors were.
Do not get me wrong. I wanted the DP for Arias because the Alexander family wanted it AND Arias qualified for it under the law of Arizona. Was I disappointed? Yes.
But until all facts, like these minutes, are made known, I do not agree with subjecting the holdout juror to damning comments just because I didn't get what I wanted. Death threats are shameful.
Just saying...........
