Why is this Juror Smiling?

This is the man that kept that jury locked up and the only hold out on Etan’s Patz murder trial. Thanks to him  this was a mistrial and now New York City either goes for a mistrial or let the man that confessed to how he murdered Ethan in the basement of his building. Even if this psycho  was innocent there would be no reason for this juror to be smiling.  He wanted those 15 minutes of fame so badly he just felt good. 
Now the city has to go through an expensive, more difficult re trial or let this man loose. Many refer to this case as the OJ murder retrial. Again no reason for the guy to be smiling! People that know NYC Police know that they pushed this man too much like if in todays info-technical society no body was going to find out. These interrogators were so much knuckle heads that they never thought that if anything they should have treated this accused with kid gloves. In such a public trial like this one everything was going to be highlighted by the man’s lawyers but their stupidity prevented them from  realizing that. Instead they treated Hernandes like they would any defendant, ’badly’.
One would think that the interrogators and their supervisors’ would pay some price? No chance, thats why it gets done.
When the treatment that Hernandes got was read to the jury it gave this juror with a lack of common sense but with a little hair inside his butt for fame an excuse to figure out the man did it but with a little doubt down where I told you, he had to hold out.  Now the city afraid of its own cops has to go for a second trial.                ( Adam)


 Etan Patz parents 1979

The following appeared along with the picture of the famous juror enjoying his new found fame at gothamist.com:
The juror whose belief that Pedro Hernandez did not kill six-year-old Etan Patz—resulting in a mistrial for the murder trial—is now speaking out. Adam Sirois, a health care consultant, told WABC 7 that the jury started out as eight for a guilty verdict, four for not guilty, "it moved to approximately 6-6 - there were some unsure votes in there. 9-3, 10-2 and then 11-1, so there was a progress that went along. It was hard to know that I was the last one on the 'not guilty' side, but I couldn't vote the other way."
The murder trial was supposed to be a coda on the 1979 disappearance of Etan, who was last seen heading to his school bus stop in Soho by himself. However, his body was never found and no charges were ever brought against any suspect. The most compelling person of interest was Jose Ramos, a drifter who dated Etan's babysitter who later was convicted of molesting little boys. Ramos told investigators he was 90% sure he had taken Etan and was eventually found guilty of Etan's death in a 2004 civil case.
The NYPD reopened the case of Etan's disappearance in 2012—finding no new evidence—but arrested Hernandez, who had been a bodega worker in the neighborhood in 1979—Etan had apparently headed to the bodega first to get a soda—and who had "confessed" about strangling a boy to relatives and his church group. Detectives who interrogated him for hours without a lawyer, obtained a confession, which Hernandez’s defense claimed was extremely questionable because of his mental health issues, which include shizophrenia.
