Why we need #independentjurors: Think the judge in the courtroom is an objective arbiter of justice? Think again. Jurors say that Franklin County, Ohio Municipal Court Judge Amy Salerno chastised them in open court for having reached a “wrong” verdict when they delivered a Not Guilty verdict in an assault case. It gets worse: the administrative judge to whom they complained says, "They reported to me that she made a comment to them that it was okay because she would have another chance to get this defendant ’cause he had other charges pending.”
