In a high-profile criminal case, you’ve followed the public facts closely. The case goes to trial, and the jury’s verdict differs from your own conclusion. What’s your first reaction?

If I’m an observer, I’d probably think they got it wrong. Sometimes information is withheld from the jury that the public is privy to.

Juries get it wrong all the time.

They blew it. Probably bc THEY weren’t privy to enough information. Lots of juries are shielded from all the details. (That’s why rulings on objections matter so much.)

In some cases we have more info than the jury. Events, facts, evidence are excluded as prejudicial or in some other way run afoul of the rules of evidence. TV talking heads aren't restricted from talking about it.

I thought that OJ was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Am I on the jury? Am I an observer?

I think this is presuming you're an observer, not on the jury
