Biased jury

[Kiwi 22]

Jurisdiction

West Virginia

I recently served jury duty, and during deliberation another juror went on a 3 minute political rant comparing the defendant to Hillary Clinton. She became so animated that another juror told her to calm down because Clinton had no bearing in this case. The thing that concerns me is that the defendant had previously been elected to city government as a Democrat. Before we begin deliberation this same juror had made complaints in reference to Obama. Politics had no play in my voting guilty, but at least four jurors were undecided beforehand. I feel the jury was made biased by this jurors comments resulting in the guilty verdict. What should I do?

That's how juries work.

I don't see what you can do in this case. People on a jury discuss, give their opinions.......

What should I do?

Forget your jury experience and watch the greatest jury story of all time. Plenty of anger and bias in it that'll make your experience look tame.

Tell me, what is it that you think a jury is supposed to do?
