Jury's note says they're concerned one juror can't follow instructions​

The note from the jury reads: “We have a juror, No. 25, who we are concerned cannot follow your honor’s instructions.”

The foreperson also asked to speak with the judge or that the juror be interviewed.

Judge Arun Subramanian is waiting on the bench, and he has not made a decision yet.

Oh boy

What kind of instructions do jurors generally need to follow? Does it change for each case?

4:49 pm Combs has been brought back into the courtroom by US Marshals. His lawyers are gathered around looking at a piece of paper

Judge: We have two letters [notes] from the jury, if an individual asks for a controlled substance and the person hands it over, it is distribution? And the 2d says they will end at 5 pm. I suggest we respond by pointing to the jury charge

Hmmmm…so is that a “can’t” or “won’t” follow instructions. He certainly seems smart enough to understand them.

Oh boy

No surprise. He is always going to win over people, some more than others but it’s going to happen. Some people who lack sound judgment and enjoy being in a famous person situation are thinking that this will somehow make them famous. They believe that they will be popular and tell everyone all about it. They will give interviews about his “innocence”. Sensationalism.

I’m still not convinced that he hasn’t made some kind of deal to pay at least a few jurors off. He has people working behind the scenes in multitudes. Sign an NDA, vote not guilty and get a house, yearly income, wipe out your debt etc. This is how this guy operates.

Unfortunately. Would love to be wrong.

I’m hearing whispers that the verdict is back. Is there any truth to this?

Count one. He did kidnap Ventura. The video in the hotel shows he forcefully dragged her back to the hotel room after beating her. That does not portray a woman who willingly went back.

Jury says they've reached a verdict on some of the counts

The jury sent a note at 4:05 p.m. that says: “We have reached a verdict on counts 2, 3, 4 and 5. We are unable to reach a verdict on count 1 as we have jurors with unpersuadable opinions on both sides.
