They are supposed to deliberate. That means the head juror is supposed to go over every part of the case and evidence.
After 11 months of testimony, the OJ Simspson jury refused to deliberate and took just 3 - 4 hours to let him go free.
“and took just 3 - 4 hours to let him go free.”
Not 3 - 4 hours. 20 minutes.
I was on a criminal jury a couple of years ago. It took us about 20 minutes to find the guy guilty. We didn’t have to go back over the material. It was pretty obvious just like I think its pretty obvious Zimmerman didn’t murder anybody.
You may be right the jury may come back in a few hours. I am of the mind they may drag it out a little to try to keep the peace.
