They spent days tearing down one juror for refusing to excuse the strangling of three little kids. Then it comes out he was the only Black person in the room, standing alone against eleven others who wanted the case to disappear into a mental-health verdict.That is why the faces look like that. The story they were telling themselves just ran into a fact they cannot spin. A man who would not fold is suddenly inconvenient when he does not match the script.Three children are still dead. One juror would not pretend that did not matter. The rest of the noise is just people realizing their talking points no longer work.
