I’m not even sure what you’re talking about. Almost everyone posting on this subject seems to be operating under the assumption that the jury is being asked to decide a single set of three murder counts here. All I did was point out that the jury actually has multiple options here and could very well be disputing which charges are applicable.
Your point is valid. It does not explain or justify the behavior of the jury in my mind.
I do not believe that it takes six days for a jury to compromise on a selection of charges ranging from premeditated murder to involuntary manslaughter.
I have served on a conflicted jury. The foreman did not go running to the judge with a complaint about the holdout. The matter was resolved in deliberations.
This jury appears to be deadlocked with public animosity between jurors and visible sympathy for the defendant (as shown by public appearances of some jurors wearing pink shirts). This looks to me like a case of juror nullification of laws against homicide.
Not something I find tolerable.
Time to declare a mistrial, due frankly to gross juror misconduct, and move on to the next available step in the judicial process. If there is one.
