Like what has been previously said the jury was most likely made up of ignorant people.
It's unfortunate.

false. it happens all the time.
The lawyers have to ask and the judge has to give permission. If that happened we'd know about it. That did not happen

This troll account stays posting BS in legal threads...
The Florida Bar has enacted the following rule relating to post-verdict interrogation of jurors (Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, 4-3.5(d)(4)):
(d) A lawyer shall not:
.. . .
(4) After dismissal of the jury in a case with which he or she is connected, initiate communication with or cause another to initiate communication with any juror regarding the trial except to determine whether the verdict may be subject to legal challenge. Provided, a lawyer may not interview jurors for this purpose unless he or she has reason to believe that grounds for such challenge may exist. Provided further, before conducting any such interview the lawyer must file in the cause a notice of intention to interview setting forth the name of the juror or jurors to be interviewed. A copy of the notice must be delivered to the trial judge and opposing counsel a reasonable time before such interview. The provisions of this rule do not prohibit a lawyer from communicating with veniremen or jurors in the course of official proceedings or as authorized by court rule or written order of the court.
After a verdict is returned but before the jury is discharged, the court must on a party's request, or may on its own, poll the jurors individually. If the poll reveals a lack of unanimity, the court may direct the jury to deliberate further or may declare a mistrial and discharge the jury.

you are postin about a jury poll which is more of an on record proceeding to ensure a verdict is valid (there wasn't even a verdict in this case so there was no need to do a jury poll). they can speak to jurors off the record and the judge in this case told that to the jury.
Direct quote from the judge. 11:30
"The lawyers are not permitted to initiate communication with you about the trial."

key word initiate, that doesn't mean they can't talk to the jury..... it means they can't initiate it. the key in understanding legal concepts is to know what every single word used means because that is going to determine what can or can't happen lol
