“Jury finds itself guilty of being unable to follow very basic instructions.”

Waste of time and money because jurors can’t follow the basic directions. It’s right that they were dismissed.
Open/shut/whatever doesn’t matter. Our justice system depends upon even-handedness and regardless of whether these guys are guilty as sin, they deserve a fair trial because without one, no-one else can depend upon one either.

I read about these events quite often. Why are the jurors not prosecuted for contempt of court and/or fined the costs of the aborted hearing?

I would like to know what the ‘broadcast’ was, just interesting to know why it may bias a jury.
