I have no idea, but my guess is that there will be more women on the Jury than men.

In the Brisbane Supreme Court this afternoon, the six men and six women jury...........

My guess was wrong. There are six men/six women.

If the jury is anything like this thread - the problem could be 6 men and 6 women. :thinking:

[FONT=&quot]Justice John Byrne has urged the jury, which is made up of six men and six women, to continue deliberating.

Curious what happens when a jury comes back saying they are unable to reach a verdict? Well, as Justice John Byrne explained today he does have the power to discharge them. However in Queensland there's an alternative - it comes with a script for the judge to follow: It's called a "black direction," which is the option the judge went for.

And once you've read all that - you're probably wondering what happens if the jury really can't agree. Tostee has been charged with murder, and in Queensland law a majority verdict is not allowed for murder - a majority verdict is where 11 out of 12 jurors agree. Their agreement has to be unanimous.

Hopefully the decision made by our peers will be a reflection of our community values, and we can be proud of them. The Jury might have someone from emergency services on it, someone that is the head of a building body corporate, a lab technician, a bank worker, a sloot, a few uni students, a café owner, some retirees, a pet shop worker and several hospitality workers. There might be a hairdresser in the mix, someone facing bankruptcy, a disability worker and a brah,
We can only wonder what they are thinking.

However manslaughter is an available alternative for the jury in this case. Under Queensland law, the jury can return a majority verdict on manslaughter instead.
