I have to believe that at least some of the jurors were persuaded to vote guilty out of a sense of fear.

Their names get out and the next thing that happens a mob shows up outside their front door.

Prominent politicians are calling for a guilty vote or taking to the streets before the verdict was even decided.

In what world was this a fair trial?

I believe he deserved a guilty verdict but not like this.
