I saw an interview with one of the jurors, which didn’t sit
well with me (I think it was live and didn't see it repeated).
 He claimed the jurors felt intimidated by Nichols because he
watched their reactions carefully and they pretty much had
their minds made up about him.  Was it his watching that made
them nervous or the fact that he’s a well-built, young black
man?  His defense attorney couldn’t get on camera fast enough
too. It doesn’t excuse what he did, but he probably felt the
deck was stacked against him and as someone already said,
snapped.
