Juror blogs

TheWMURChannel.com - News - Court To Hear Rape Appeal:

Stephen Goupil [convicted rapist] is asking the court to decide whether Belknap County Judge Larry Smukler made a mistake in not setting aside verdicts after learning the juror referred to Goupil as "local riff raff" on a personal weblog four days before jury selection.

Well, if the juror (jury foreman to be precise) had a prejudgement of the defendant -- before jury selection even began -- why didn't the juror say "I blogged about him and said he's a piece of riff-raff!!!" when questioned by the lawyers?

I suppose the juror wanted to put the s.o.b. away.
