A Lone Juror Hijacked Deliberations. This Time, a Man Faces Execution.
While many fixated on the man who refused to acquit Lindsay Clancy, Georgia is set to kill Stacey Humphreys despite “extreme juror misconduct.”

Too much time arguing about housing. It wasn’t a debate, should have asked more tough questions on more issues, including the death penalty, environmental policy, water, high speed rail, etc

A clear 4th Am. violation. But that would normally get raised as a motion to suppress evidence if someone was searched and then charged with a crime. Will need to be a civil rights suit to stop the practice. Chilling to watch
