If a juror cannot look at a case dispassionately due to disturbing evidence then I personally think they should be released. I hope that this evidence, as disturbing as it is, will not sway her towards a guilty vote. A murder was commit in horrible fashion, she needs to remember that its nature does not necessarily imply guilt of the defendant and the guilty party needs to be convicted, not just anyone put on trial. It has been heard of people being guilty of being in the same room as gruesome evidence. Either way, her reaction will give cause for a re-trial if he is found guilty.
