Not on that particular case. But the last time I served - maybe 17 years ago - we had a hung jury because of one stubborn juror and one Korean-American who refused to believe in the 5th amendment. Afterwards, we found out the defendant had a loooooooooooooong criminal history and we all felt horrible that we didn’t convict and that the guy would be tried again - all at taxpayers’ expense.

What I remember most about this was that the jury was the worst group of humans one could be locked up with for more than one day. I went home and had a major cry and haven’t served since.

OH my gosh, I’ve never known anyone who had been sequestered - that is an interesting story, thanks!

There has already been one State witness who took the 5th. And now another..Cindy might take the 5th in rebuttal. 2 State witnesses already taking the 5th if she does. If George is called again he might too. I think it is a big mistake for Ashton to have a rebuttal case. The idiot Judge who claims he wants the trial to be over should have denied him. But Nooooo. It should be obvious how prejudiced he is.
