About an hour ago JVM from HLN spoke to a lady who has been a Juror many times. She told JVM about one DP case she was on where one Juror who was strongly against the DP intentionally joined the Jury to prevent a DP verdict. Apparently she signed on as being fully able to issue a DP. It was later found out as the 11-1 stood firm and some probing apparently took place. (replace with an alternate)
I'm going back to the first letter this Jury sent to the Judge indicating they would be unable to come to a unanimous decision. If you stop and think about this for a moment, I believe it can only indicate that someone on the Jury had already told the Foreman that there is No way they are going to issue JA a DP. That's the only way I think it possible for a letter like that to go out, after just a couple/few hours...IOW, this person was saying that there is no deliberation that would make them change their mind.
Talking about whether a DP is good or bad is a pointless discussion. It goes by the State. Some states have it and some don't. Arizona has a DP, and if it can't come in this horrendous Murder, then there's no point in having it. I think it should be disclosed if this is a One Person Hold-Out, and finding out if they Honestly filled out the Juror's form back on day one in picking the Jurors.
