re: Anderson Cooper is shocked how bad this trial is going for the prosecution

The two lawyers would know better, most likely, but it is a question as to whether they would oppose it.

I've only had scant experience on being a juror. But I recall that jurors are barred from using any expertise in deliberations - they are required to stay within the bounds of how the case was presented and defended by the attorneys.

They can use their own mentality in evaluating the logic/truth of whatever they heard - but cannot try to influence any other juror based on their own expertise.

Been a long time - memory not so good. could be a lot of nuances in what the real facts are

if anyone can update that - I'd genuinely appreciate it.
