While six women are deliberating the fate of George Zimmerman Color me ... reclusive? But didn't juries used to have 12 people? As in "12 Angry Men?"

It is very odd to have only a 6 person jury in a capital case.
I must wonder if the defense agreed to it.

The number of jurors varies by state. In my state it is 12, but I have heard of 6 in other states.

I always thought criminal trials had 12 jurors, and civil trials had 6, but I was corrected on FR a week or two ago, by someone saying that it varied state-by-state. News to me.
