      @benpicnyc Shallow read. The article deals with a juror complaint to the judge, which probably doesn’t merit looking into the jury room (though some recent SCOTUS precedent has in matters of race). I wouldn’t say a judge declining to overturn the verdict of his own trial says anything.

    @benpicnyc It’s also not the case that every unfair trial gets it wrong. I thought that the sexual harassment case by Ellen Pao was meritless, but the trial was fundamentally rigged during juror selection by selecting jurors who didn’t believe in workplace sexual harassment. #railroading
