Was 8 months harsh for Facebook juror?

She should have got a year at least for being so stupid. What hope does justice have with idiots like this on the jury. She must have known what she was doing as jurors are instructed to not discuss the case even with close family members. Chatting about it on a social networking site was sheer stupidity, she has cost the tax payer millions over the collapsed trial. 8 months is nothing, she will probably only serve two.
