I don't know if anyone is going to read this, or care about this, but it was indeed a troll. The subreddit /r/justice4darrell contained many stupid posts and it was clear right off the back that it was set up for people to get attention.
There was one mod in particular named /u/blackjusticeforever. He was the "mod" who confirmed that the juror who made the infamous post was indeed one of the jurors from the case (obviously this was a lie).
One redditor (who I can't remember at this moment) was banned from the subreddit and he decided to hack /u/blackjusticeforever. This redditor found out that this guy was indeed from Wisconsin and his real life name is James. To my knowledge, James doesn't have any connection with Darrell and he did go to the court on a couple occasions to witness the trial.
the hacker-redditor then started hassling /u/blackjusticeforever and he kept calling him by his real name. In response /u/blackjusticeforever replied "no doxxing, final warning" which sort of gives credibility to the hacker's story. The last thing I remember the hacker said was that James was indeed arrested but I don't know if that is true or if he is still being held in custody if it is true.
EDIT: I also want to add that the reddit post would have never caused as mistrial.
