What is a hung jury?:innocent:
Judge is sticking to his guns...not releasing her...
He seems to be paying attention, and imo it's a good civics educational experience to watch the process. He looks to me to be about middle school age.
HHJP is not going to reopen this to be argued over and over again. rightfully or wrongfully, he is going to stand by his prior ruling.
Juror is still in....
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/preemptiveAccording to this, it's Peremptive. It's a legal term, I guess.
Excerpt;
Peremptory challenges provide a more impartial and better qualified jury. Peremptory challenges allow an attorney to reject a potential juror for real or imagined partiality that would be difficult to demonstrate under the challenge for cause category. These challenges, however, have become more difficult to exercise because the U.S. Supreme Court has forbidden peremptory strikes based on race or gender.
So a hung jury would cause a mistrial and they'd have to do it over? Please someone say she wouldn't be acquited.
This is how I interpreted her statement as well. She said it within the context of what she had heard prior to coming for jury duty. Imo, she meant that evidence is what she would use to judge rather than all the gossip/media hype prior to trial.Sorry you guys, but I felt that this juror was also talking about gossip when she said not judging anyone by what someone else says.
If the Judge won't release her for cause then can the SA use a strike?
She's in... this jury will be hung!
