Huh, why?
So judge handed counsel a piece of paper and showed it to them after Willmott left smiling and Juan took the family into the side room. That note may read hung jury.
I'm surprised she is smiling, what with her gravy train coming to an end and all.
So they can be there for the verdict? So they can know that a verdict has been reached and their service is no longer needed? Because it is standard procedure? One or more of those? I have no idea. I just know that JSS said they were waiting on the alternates to arrive.
But it could just be a juror note.
