How do we know that the jury was 11-1 to acquit? I must have missed something. I listen to a lot of talk radio and I have not heard this; I’ve only heard speculation.

The defense lawyer wanted to remove only one juror on the pretext of "failing to follow the judge's instructions on the definition of "reasonable doubt".

We can reasonably conclude that one juror was voting for a conviction while all the other jurors were voting for acquittal.
