The accusations are already beginning to fly… was she paid off, threatened, politically motivated, or truly convinced-even in the face of all of the evidence- that he was innocent? I’m sure a lot more on this will be revealed in the days to come, including the woman’s name.

I've served on two juries where this same thing happened, just a stubborn personality, that either cannot, or will not listen to the evidence or reason. On the first one, the holdout juror hated cops so he voted "not guilty" despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
