Between the anxiety of the Kavanaugh vote and the anxiety of the jury verdict in this case, I feel completely on edge and distraught.
Both are out of our hands. I feel the Kavanaugh thing is headed for disaster, but I have a shred of hope that justice will be done in the Van Dyke trial. I listened to the prosecution's summation the other day, and was in tears. I don't see how anyone could vote to acquit. But I since almost everything that has seemed so very clear to me has been upturned these past two years, I can't feel too hopeful.

Please make these alternate jurors' views the majority.
