This raises the question: How does this defense attorney know how that one juror is voting. Jury deliberations are supposed to be secret. Is someone on the jury in contact with the defense ? No defense attorney would risk removing a holdout juror in a capital murder case unless he knew which way that juror was voting.

Could be the defense attorney is just that arrogant to think he has won this case and is pissed it will go for naught if the jury is hung and a mistrial declared (which I suspect will be the outcome). If it turns out he knew this all for a fact, I agree - how did he know it is 11-1 and the 1 is trying to convict her. This case sure does smell a great deal. There is true evil in the world - we don’t have to make excuses for it.

Apparently, the note from the Jury Forewoman to the Judge indicated that one juror was not agreeing with the rest.
