That's why I think the judge stressed that whilst they could talk about it, they should be careful what they say as it could cause a retrial.
Not sure if this has already been posted, but since it's related to the current apple/samsung case and the issue of jurors talking about deliberations

@Harry:
It's an interesting issue for those of us in the UK.
If what the jurors (in the US case) have done really was to ignore prior art, the judge's instructions and try to punish samsung rather than just vote on the law at hand, in the UK we'd likely never have found out. Unless a juror reported concerns to officials at the court, but if they all thought what they were doing was perfectly acceptable (even if it wasn't), we'd likely never find out.
