The unnamed juror reported to ABC News, in a piece that aired on Good Morning America on Thursday.
“The crying, the facial expressions that she had, the staring at the jury — all of us were very uncomfortable… She would answer one question and she would be crying and then two seconds later she would turn ice cold… Some of us used the expression ‘crocodile tears.”
“A lot of the jury felt what he was saying, at the end of the day, was more believable…,” said the juror. “He just seemed a little more real in terms of how he was responding to questions. His emotional state was very stable throughout…”
The unnamed man also said, there was another suspicious thing, the revelation that the actress had not donated her $7 million divorce settlement to charity as she had previously pledged as per the actress.

“Ultimately what I think is truthful was that they were both abusive to each other, I don’t think that makes either of them right or wrong. But to rise to the level of what she was claiming, there wasn’t enough or any evidence that really supported what she was saying.”
