He's talking about the charges where the jury was hung.
If I am a juror leaning towards conviction on the charges that ended up being "hung", and I see that there aren't going to be any convictions on those counts - no way I vote to acquit on the other counts. If I am for conviction with 9 or 10 others, and see holdouts blocking it on charges A,B,C - then I vote to hang their acquittals on charges D,E,F.
" Al-Arian Juror Says Enough
12/6/05 3:03:03 PM
TAMPA - A juror in the terrorist-support trial of Sami Al-Arian and three other defendants told the judge Tuesday that the pressure to conform with other jurors is too great and that "I’ve had all my nerves can take."
In a note to the judge, the juror stated: "I'm sorry to say at this time I can no longer deliberate under the conditions you put forth. Being that I'm in the minority I feel like I'm being whipped to change and I'm not alone. My nerves and my conscience are being whipped into submission. I'm sorry I've had all my nerves can take."
After receiving the note, U.S. District Judge James Moody recessed the court for a brief time. It's expected the jurors will be issued new verdict forms so they can present verdicts in the charges they agree on.
The judge then, at 2:50 p.m., posed two questions to the jurors: "Do you unanimously agree that you can continue deliberations and make progress without anyone feeling pressure?"
=======================================
What an unmitigated and frightening disaster!! I am sickened. To have this terrorist out and back doing his terror recruiting and fundraising is terrifying! I wanna know who screwed up ... prosecutors, jurors, judge .. what went awry? They had rooms full of documentation in every form .. what in God's name is wrong with these jurors? Odds are high that his terror cells are all over FL, rubbing their hands with glee, awaiting the call from their master, and I'll bet they have extra security at MacDill.
