For me, if there is any contempt towards any juror the idiot who can’t stop mouthing off on the tv and getting paid for interviews is the problem. If he had quietly gone away there wouldn’t be fuel for the prosecution to add to their retrial submission.
BBC View Supporters of Chauvin have pointed to juror Brandon Mitchell, who was pictured last August at an event in Washington held on the 57th anniversary of the civil rights movement's historic March on Washington. The event included a Get Your Knee Off Our Necks protest at which speakers including Martin Luther King's son demanded racial equality. Mr Mitchell was pictured wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Get your knee off our necks" and "BLM", referring to the Black Lives Matter movement. Jurors in the Chauvin case were asked before the trial whether they or people they knew well had "participated in protests about police use of force or police brutality". Mr Mitchell - the only juror in the trial to give media interviews - says he answered no to that question.
