There's an old Irish saying ... Is this a private fight, or can anyone join in? 
Michel you say that the jurors vote according to their conscience, and then you say that Taj was unnecessarily hurt and that was a legitimate reason to vote the way she did.
My question is ... does being hurt equate to conscience? To me, conscience is based on the morals by which we live; being honest and being loving, etc. are morals by which we live. On the other hand, being revengeful is more of an emotional state.
Perhaps it's only our interpretation of conscience, but I see jurors voting according to their mental and emotional state rather than their conscience. It is, after all, a game ... albeit for a million bucks (less tax). If they were using their conscience they wouldn't even be in a game that ultimately was about deceiving, lying and back-stabbing.
