Those wacky jurors...
We've all heard about the Tyco trial, where one juror is apparently holding out and preventing a conviction. I don't have much of a problem with it myself. She's a juror, you have to persuade her beyond a reasonable doubt. Either do it, or try the stupid case again. That's how things work.
Besides, lone jurors can change things the other way, too. Here in Atlanta, one juror is giving prosecutors another shot at trying an alleged murderer.
No real comment at the moment. Just interesting.
