He was so overpowering with his opinions it just ruined t for everyone else. I tried to take in and listen to everyone elses opinions. I think the eventual outcome was the only one they could come to but I think they did it. The evidence wasn't there but I think they were guilty. It just showed up the difficulty of the justice system and how no matter what you think, you have to go with the evidence. What did you think?

Collymore came across as an irritating and low IQ person who would not be able to do the shopping without guidance

I watched some of this, but found the conversations between the jurors tedious. The exercise is of questionable value, since I suspect the dynamic of a real jury is rather different, A real jury does not comprise self-important people scrambling for public approval in an attempt to relaunch careers.
The fact that jury deliberations are private means that jurors do not have to worry about the impression they convey. There is also no possibility of being proved wrong- what the jury says goes. In an exercise like this, there is a constant concern that one will turn out to have been wrong, since there is a manufactured, objective 'truth' to which you can be referred after the verdict.
Personally, I have relatively little confidence in the jury as an objective, fact finding process or as a guarantor of personal freedom in the face of a repressive state. I would, however, have been interested to see this exercise carried out with random members of the public. I do not think the use of celebrities (in the loosest sense of that word) served any purpose.

I agree that the evidence was flimsy but it would have been nice to know if the verdict was correct or not! And as for Stan could they have found anyone less appropriate to sit on a jury!!!??? In real life he wouldnt have been eligible as he has prior convictions
