What exact question did they ask?
According to court tweet, It was not that the jury was completely deadlocked. The question was "What happens IF they can not come to a unanimous decision. "
So if that was their question and not a firm stance.. Don't lose hope...
Come on Jurors!! Come on!
They are death qualified in the sense that they are not 100% for it and not 100% against it.
Are not categorically opposed to the imposition of capital punishment;
Are not of the belief that the death penalty must be imposed in all instances of capital murderthat is, they would consider life imprisonment as a possible penalty.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death-qualified_jury
MC Superior Court ‏@courtpio 27mI did not hear the judge read the question out loud.....what was the exact question??
The only conclusion is that someone on the jury was not truthful when they said they COULD give the DP - because if they cannot for this - they cannot for ANYONE - imho

I believe the question was "What if" and not that they were deadlocked. It is possible someone is on the fence.
The reporters should be really proud of their scoop - they are complicit in this..:banghead:

...the giddy thing is from earlier this morning...they are replaying it on HLN...
It is not live or related to this latest outcome...
Sorry, I'm from Canada and following this online. So the jury was hung on the death penalty so she gets life in prison? This doesn't mean a mistrial right? In Canada, I think it qualifies as a mistrial so thats why I'm confused. Thanks!
