Turns out two of the jurors are expressing doubt about the verdict and claiming they were unduly pressured by the jury foreman and prosecution.

On Friday, two of the 12 jurors who convicted the agents said pressure from the prosecution and possible misconduct involving other jurors may have led to the conviction.

In an interview with the Daily Bulletin Saturday, a juror who asked to be identified only as Claudia said she was the last holdout on the jury before the guilty verdicts were handed down.

“I’ve had nightmares about the family since the day of the verdict,” Claudia said. “I want to do whatever I can to support the families. I’m not at peace.”

Claudia and another juror, Bob Gourley, who teaches special-needs students, said the guidelines provided to the jury were at times difficult to understand and that several of the guidelines regarding the convictions were open to interpretation.

Both added that several of the jurors, including the foreman, pressured colleagues to go with a guilty verdict because spring break was a week away and they didn’t want to be stuck in a long deliberation. Gourley said the foreman told the jurors, several of whom were holding out, that Judge Cardone would not accept a hung jury.

The foreman, whose name is being withheld, could not be reached for comment.

Gourley said he contacted Mary Stillenger, Ramos’s attorney, several weeks after the trial was over to let her know he was not comfortable with the verdict.

“We had to go by the judge’s orders, but this punishment doesn’t fit the crime,” Gourley said.

Kanof, who could not be reached for comment Saturday, said in an earlier interview with the Daily Bulletin that she questioned the jury after the verdict and that all members said they were satisfied with the verdict.

There’s a petition by Grassfire to appeal for a full pardon by President Bush for these border patrol agents.
