I know. Well the juror was forbidden to reveal anything specific including the number split on the division.
My interpretation:
They were not all twelve out of hope to reach a verdict. Therefore that message they were hung is not really dispositive, as ALL twelve must believe it is hopeless. Some portion of the jury may have pressured the rest to hang it up, but this juror at least no sooner got out than decided to not let it go. Good for him or her.
Wonder how much impending Christmas is influencing them to yield to the frustration and say they cannot get it done.
Yes, I think it's a huge influence. That plus the fact they've been there almost 6 months.
It sounds to me that there may be one stubborn, resolute holdout.
Wonder if it was the jury foreman that came forward?
Thank you for your calm and considered interpretation, Pua. I feel too emotional to be rational.
