They didn't have time to read the instructions. They had too many decisions to
make.
They took the easy way out and deferred to the eager foreman.
Given the number of questions, the complexity of the issues and the
instructions, the jury did a laughable job, or they were just lazy. It may have
been incomprehensible to them, something they could not admit, so they left it
to Mr. Hogan.
The Judge isn't doing anything radical: she denied injunctions, and she stuck
with the verdict. The biggest chance she takes is ruling on the juror
misconduct without an evidentiary hearing. Imagine a remand in 18 months so she
can have an evidentiary hearing with the Foreman. Awkward.

Uh, IIRC they were given 96 pages of instructions - and yet,
they got a verdict in less than 3 days. So, maybe the
instructions were clear, but... I guess they've actually
never read those pages. Just stuck to what the foreman told
them to do.
And the judge didn't even blink on this?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

While jury instructions were clear,
is it normal to have 100 pages? I
don't think many jury can diligently
follow 100 pages of instructions.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
