The defense is appeal to vacate the mistrial to try to force the judge to make the jury reconvene and wear down the holdout.

Right, if left up to the defense team, the one holdout juror would be browbeaten until they changed their verdict. That is NOT how justice is supposed to work...but the defense lawyer cares nothing about justice, obviously. This judge should have stuck to the mistrial and not given any leeway to Reddington. I can’t help wondering how this same trial would have played out in another state... like Florida or Texas, for instance.
Or to replace the holdout with an alternate.
