re: #71 quickjustice

Despite the verdict, and CU’s horrible defense, the jury thought it all was only worth a buck.

A juror was just on the radio. That’s not quite true. The juror said that David lane, Churchill’s lawyer, really didn’t spend barely any time on discussing money.

Lane didn’t even mention money until closing arguments, and he sort fo blew it off with a statement (paraphrase) “Is this worth a dollar or 25 million, that’s up to you” but he didn’t give them any details on how they could gauge the amount.

The juror said that 5 of the 6 jurors wanted to award the 25 million, but the 6th juror convince them there wasn’t enough instructions and information from Lane for them to make that decision, so they went with the dollar.
