It appears that Judge Mudd wants the Jury to be influenced by the bias toward David Westerfield. The Jury is tainted, and Mudd and Dusek are not objecting to it.
Yes, a hung Jury would be better than a conviction. We need more time, to dig into what REALLY went on that night, with the Van Dams and company. DW will stay in jail no matter what...but at least not on Death Row.
