I heard the jurors sent a note asking what “unanimous” meant, so there must be at least one holdout. It is weird that it is taking more time to decide the punishment than it did to reach a verdict.
No doubt the WOMEN on the jury were swayed by the defense lawyer's insistence that Hayes serving life in prison and being "burdened with guilt" every day would be "worse than death". Remember the Menendez hung juries (6 men guilty, 6 women not guilty)?
