d themselves perfectly, which I would respect. I mean if they did it just to protect their families, I'm okay with it. They have that right.

Let me say this. I'd love to see your opinion. Suppose there were — you had a juror, let's just take it as a hypothetical — who legitimately felt that his or her family would be in danger. We won't even make it him or herself. We'll just say their family would have been in danger. And they vote to save their family but it puts a person in prison. Did they make the right decision? What do you think? Did they make the right decision if they protect their family but it puts them — hypothetically an innocent man — in prison? I'm not saying that Chauvin's innocent. I'm saying hypothetically, would that be okay with you?

Somebody says I would drop out of the jury. Yeah, that would be the smarter play, right? Yeah, I think whoever said I would drop out of the jury, that's the only legitimate play. But I don't know if you can do that if you get all the way to the end. That's a pretty tough decision if you've gone through the entire trial because you don't want to be the one that wastes everybody's time. That's not good either. That's not going to help you.

So if you don't drop out sort of right away, I'll tell you when they could have dropped out: the day that there was a public statement and they probably heard about it. The day that Maxine Waters made her statement, any of the jurors could have stood up and said, "I'm out." And nobody would have faulted them. Would you? If we had spent millions of dollars and all this time to have this trial, but the minute that Maxine Waters was done speaking in what sounded like a threatening way, if one of the jurors had stood up and said, "Your honor, I'm out. Here's the reason. And you can't keep me here. I'm out." And just walked out the door, would you blame them? Would they go to jail? Would they be in contempt of court? I don't think so. I don't think so.

I think all you'd have to do is play the Maxine Waters video and say, "Look, I'm out." It wouldn't matter what anybody said. No, listen to it. I'm out. I'm out. There's no conversation. There's no argument. There's no debate. Listen to this. I'm out. I'm now going to walk out that door. I'm no longer on your jury. You guys can work it out, but I'm out. No. As long as you did it professionally, as long as you did it with full transparency, you could just walk right out the door. I don't think you would get a penalty for that.

Now of course the judge could probably try to twist your arm with threats or whatever, but I don't think he'd stop you. In the end he or she would let you walk right out. Completely legitimate for an American citizen to protect their family completely.

All right, contempt of court. Yeah, I just don't think that the judge would pull the trigger on contempt if it's even an option. I don't know if it is.

Somebody says it's a message, not Stockholm syndrome. Let's see that opinion. Jury has not experienced violence or been saved by their captors. Yeah, but you know the Stockholm syndrome, if you're talking more generally, if you're just sort of trapped with a bunch of people and you've got certain influences on you, it's not exactly Stockholm syndrome, correct. But you know, you can feel tha
