Seriously now, Janice, if a tout made this statement, what would your response be? Do you seriously think that Tony or others who acted with him thought it was OK to trade on information pilferred from an FBI database? LOLOLOL. think the fact that there was "celebration and trading" strongly suggests that Tony genuinely believed that it was okay for Royer to give him the information in question. As for jurors asking questions of witnesses, I don't think that would be good as jurors aren't trained in rules of evidence, rules that have stood the test of time to protect the rights of litigants. However, jurors can ask a judge for an explanation of a charge. It's rare and would require a hearing of course. However, to try to get our discussion back on track, I don't think this was a case of the jury not understanding something. They know what extortion is. It's not a complicated thing. You know when someone is threatening you and you know what it means when you can stop that threat by paying off.
