Goes along with the NPC mindset. So many people are utterly incapable of anything beyond first order thinking (only thinking of the immediate consequences of their actions, not anything down the road). They were just focused on "Get Orange Man!" and the only immediate consequences are "Orange Man in jail, yay!" and "My cousin will love me for convicting Orange Man!". I doubt anyone on the jury thought beyond that at all.
I think part of it is that the whole judicial system in New York is so pozzed that they have no reason to believe that running their traps will get this tossed. I can't say I disagree with that assessment.
