Juror No. 6 Will Talk for $50K

Juror Hires Publicist, Waiting for Payday

A publicist for the unidentified juror is sending a letter to media outlets, claiming, "Our client -- a married, college-educated, 33-year-old white male with two young children -- is willing to consider granting one or more media interviews so long as the opportunities are paid."


So, smart enough to get picked for this particular jury duty?

Isn't it a matter of time before the defendant finds a way to cash in?

Literary agents are already lining up.
Some men's magazine will pitch a centerfold/pictorial.

Judging from the hate this trial has generated it would be easy to find $50K to get him off'd

^^^

Jury made the right decision. Unless there's virtually airtight evidence, you can't send someone up for life or to the electric chair. The prosecution's case had a lot of holes in it.

Better a guilty person get off free than have something like the Todd Willingham case happen again. Guy wasn't a nice guy, but he was executed in Texas on testimony that was later proven to be incompetent.

She is not a bad looking young lady and I'm sure she is smart enough to capitalize on the situation.

Who among us, being an ex juror on this case, would say no thank you to the filthy lucre of a Tee Vee interview?

Possible in some states, but other will not give a license or certificate if they have a felony (she has multiple felony convictions for check fraud) record.

yep. He even has a new one now called Baggage. Try to catch one where he is trying to hook the dude up with one of the three babes. Interesting to see how young women think these days.

I heard tonight they are already lining upfor the civil suits. the county wants its investigation money back as well as several private groups who were involved. Along with that and the cost to defend shes going to need a book to even be solvent. not to mention that she acused her parents of all kinds of dispicable things. She used to live with her parents, now even that will not be available. I hope to see her suffer the same fate as OJ, she will be a peria and eventually will try to do something illegal figuring the lawyers will get her out again. it will be interesting to see what happens to her if she ends up in a federal prison, which Im guessing is only a few years away

this case renews my disgust in trial lawyers. you can bet she told all the disgusting details to her team and they are still celebrating the fact that they helped her get away with it.

Emotion and the law don't work together; do they?
