That's the problem, you don't really know what they were thinking. One thing I did notice, that those poor Jurors had to sit through two weeks or so of experts talking about economics, accounting, finance, and MBS. Plus, the Arnold & Porter team representing the federal government FHFA kept interrupting the proceedings by constantly objecting and everyone had to hear the "white noise" so the Plaintiffs and Defendants could argue amongst themselves with the Judge listening and ruling on each objection.

Mostly they seemed to take their Jury duty seriously and I think both the Plaintiffs and Defendants may have had the opportunity to get their take afterwards if they wanted to share and the Judge allowed them the opportunity.

Damn right it was rigged. 9 jurors, 1 man and he is let off. Only 5% of trials end in a hung jury. They 8 women were clerks in DC. It was all set up. A puppet show!
