When Robert Blake was acquitted, there were some that felt he was guilty, some who felt he was innocent but the verdict and the work of the jurors was considered to be honorable and fair by most. Can you imagine if this had happened after Cook and Hultmans disgraceful behavior rather than before? Everyone who didn't like the verdict would say "well probably they were intimidated, just wait" "I bet there was misconduct in the jury room" , "I'm convinced they want to write books so the ones that 'knew' he was guilty were afraid of a mistrial". We will see these sort of comments backed by "proof" in the actions of Hultman and Cook. And they will be made even in local cases without national coverage.
