The longer they are out, is that usually indicative of G or NG?
Just jumping off your post.
Most likely a hold out.
It is a difficult decision to make no matter how you slice it. Some people cannot find anyone guilty of a crime that demands jail time and loss of job. (Loss of job should be a given here, but jurors don't know all we do.)
It does not help when it is a police officer, and not only this board but others, post about possible repercussion. (We have had people shot on the bus here for drug convictions, don't know about Arizona.)
Most people do not want to be jurors now because of repercussions. I fully understand. I think jury duty should now go with jurors behind a camera or something. Also, they cannot afford it if they have to support themselves, so they get an attitude.
Both sides do present enough in any case now to cancel each other out, and without the t.v. "smoking gun" instant answers via science (although that is fallible too) people want to give the benefit of a doubt. They also know that someday soon in our rather litigious and no discrimination on allegations society, they will hope for understanding jurors, karma effect.
I do not think they are all there for the $30 a day pay that comes eventually, maybe it is more now, but long trials STILL end up with a null verdict.
Just MOO. Just me being frustrated. The death penalty or life is not on the table, right?
Rambling and upset about other things, so take with a grain.
