Absolutely. It’s not your fault if the jury gets it wrong after you did your best.
Happens….. best to have an honest after action review with yourself (your trial team)
Can you interview jurors in your jurisdiction? I always learn the most from juror debriefing. Don't do it yourself, they won't be honest if they feel you did something wrong.
Sometimes you can do everything right and still, the runaway verdicts occur.
That's really unfortunate.
Maybe a helpful exercise if you’re not doing it yet is going to someone else at your firm who knows little to nothing about the case and lay it out for them. Like a peer review on a paper, they can maybe see what you’re missing bc you forgot you took it out.
But at the end of the day, juries are always going to come back with verdicts that confuse us sometimes.
