IIRC in the American justice system, it's possible for a judge to overrule a jury if he/she feels it has misunderstood or ignored crucial evidence. So far I haven't read anything to imply that was the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I haven't read anything to imply that was the case here. There's also apparently nothing in the Texas guidelines for ethical conduct of judges which would prevent him from taking that action, no matter how unethical his action might appear to everyone. That loophole in the guidelines needs to be addressed. I don't really mind when a juror digs his heels in and refuses to convict because he just isn't feeling the person is guilty. That's one of the known flaws of having a jury composed of normal people and it's the responsibility of the prosecution and defense teams to do their best to weed out potential jurors who refuse to rule based strictly on the evidence presented. I'm no longer eligible to serve on any juries. But back when I was, I'd have had to admit that I'd have a difficult time convicting someone of something that I didn't think should be a crime or impossible to convict where the government blatantly violated the Constitution (drug possession, someone arrested for "public drunkenness" because the police asked him to step from the interior of his home where it was legal for him to be drunk to his front porch where he's technically in "public", questionable searches, anything involving metadata). But being a judge is a vastly different role than being a juror, not the least thing being that a judge is supposed to act like a professional. The judge in this case recused himself during sentencing rather than giving the lightest sentence possible in order to protest the jury's decision, which is more than I would have expected from his actions in the first part of the story.

My dad said one time about who say that "they should be careful it wasn't really the devil in disguise" In any case, human trafficking is another one I might be appropriate to serve on because, if find one is guilty I will not feel any need whatsoever to show any mercy.
