"The straw votes were on the counts were always in favor of conviction, but 7-4 .. on technicalities.
Don't hold me to that (can't remember).. we stopped taking straw votes "
WTF?
CAN'T REMEMBER?!?

That one sounded loud and clear to me, too!
The interference I got from that was that:
there was a time when they were taking straw polls .. most were favorable to conviction .. 7-4, etc.
then they got to feeling they were holding people's feet to the fire and it got to be too much, so they stopped doing them and just got on with analyzing the case and their discussions
Sorry -- my brain is totally scrambled.
interference = inference
