Here is an interview with Amanda Lamb. At the very end, she says she recently spoke to a juror at one of her book signings who bought one of her books. She says the jury was out "for several days". She claims the juror told her that there was never any dissension in the jury room--that they all thought he was guilty from the very beginning but they went back through the evidence to make sure they were all on the same page that it was first degree.

And she also has the nerve to make a comment about misinformation. Wow.

She's hardly an objective reporter and they should fire her because she's writing books and profiting from them. That said, there may not have been any dissension in the jury room. That's the scary part. With all these cases coming to a head, it appears to me that in N.C., juries simply believe whatever the prosecution puts on.
