Huntley's case was clear-cut.He WAS found guilty beyond reasonable doubt, the monster in those terrible murders,but one juror decided to be different Why ?
Does this prove that some people are totally unsuitable ?

Absolutely, there are some people who should never be on a jury.

It would be great to hear from some of the Jury members... Are their names not public domain?

No

do we have any names?

The public learns the name of a juror if they decide to speak publicly.  What they think after hearing various inadmissible things and allegations doesn't matter anyway.  By design they only hear evidence that is admissible so that they make their decision based on reliable evidence. 

It doesn't instill confidence in the system when jurors talk and provide silly reasons for the way they voted in the case and if they do talk they are going to be hounded incessantly.  People who want to go through that have an agenda whether it is seeking the limelight or something else.

It would be good to hear from their experience regardless of what position they take.

What experience?  They can't talk about the deliberation experience, at most they can give their own opinion about the case because the right to free speech means you can give your personal opinion on anything.

They are not allowed to discuss the deliberation process no. But they can talk about the other aspects.

I still don't get why UK courts don't allow filming  :(

I doubt it would make that much difference. Have you see the restrictions set in place ? He probably may as well stay where he is.
Gilfoyle is only out on licence. He'd served 18 years of a life sentence when he was released.

Gender of the two jurors will  offer answers perhaps they were open minded one hand Jeremy appeared stable in work not up to his eyeballs in debt or a trail of children to different partners in work and if anything normal, its not for anyone to question their vote cast back then or now.
