I disagree. I think the holdout prevented a conviction. The jury instructions that the judge re-read stressed the need for reasonable doubt, not completely free of all doubt. The holdout may have doubted she did it of her free will, instead was pressured into doing it by aliens from outer space. That is doubt, but it’s not reasonable doubt.
If it were 11-1 to convict the defense lawyer wouldnt be begging for the lone juror to be removed, he’d be the one begging for a mistrial..he doesnt want one, he wants that lone juror gone since he knows this is his ONLY chance of getting 9 women who support murdering children on a jury ever again. The prosecution when trying this case assumed that most women would convict this murdering schmuck, they had no idea that most women condone this, they support the killer, so next time they will make sure its at least half men on the jury
