Really, you're in on the Avery did it train? I cant wrap my head around that notion, maybe because I watch way more datelines than I would like to admit, and with the % of scummy cops across the country rising seemingly everyday, I can get behind the other side of the argument.
That jury was definitely swayed with Averys prior situations (even with being found to be innocent after the fact).
As a juror Im basically throwing out these things: breaking into a bar to steal beer when he was in his teens, and the cat thing...this guy is clearly not the smartest person in the world. Add the fact that he was imprisoned for 18 years for a crime he did not commit, the jury IMO took all 3 of these things and put them into their reasoning as a pattern of behavior. Goes to show you some of the flaws in a jury system, they openly said 3-4 of the jurors were stubborn and before the trial even took place said he was guilty, and some of the jurors were easily persuaded to change their minds because they didnt want to deliberate for days on end.
