Members of a recent jury panel swore under oath not to take into consideration for any purpose the fact that the defendant did not testify.  That is his, and all of ours’, constitutional right.  The judge expressly ordered them not to take it into consideration, nor even to comment on it in deliberations, yet that was the central discussion in the jury room.  The jury are supposed to be the sentinels.  These one’s were merely scoundrels.  For shame.
