Hadley Jons was kicked off a Macomb County, Michigan jury. During the prosecution case and before hearing all of the evidence she wrote about her jury experience on her Facebook page. She not only wrote about her jury experience but she said that she could not wait to find the defendant guilty. She is now facing contempt of court proceedings.

I cannot imagine how many court orders she has violated. Every judge I know instructs the jury not to discuss the case outside of the jury room until after the verdict is in. They are also instructed not to discuss the trial with anyone but their fellow jurors and then only when they are in the jury room. Perhaps most importantly they are instructed not to make up their minds until all of the evidence is in.

Furthermore it raises the question of whether she discussed her feelings with the other jurors prior to the completion of the testimony. If so she may have tainted their ability to be impartial. Did she make other jurors her Facebood friends. And if so did they see her posting?
