A majority would be for guilty but quite a few would be for not guilty on the first votes on each of the counts. |
After this particular count, I said it looks like we have a hung jury. So I actually considered writing a note to the judge to say this, we're at a deadlock. |
All the jurors took notes to pay attention and stay awake. We chewed a lot of gum and ate a lot of candy. |
For me, personally, it was the volume of evidence. |
It was quite difficult for a number of jurors. There were tears shed because we felt empathy for the two defendants. |
The pressure, the weight of that on us was quite intense. We had a lot of people with headaches, a lot of people with upset stomachs. It was taking a physical toll on us by the end. |
We didn't take a lot of breaks. Even when we ate dinner, they'd bring it in and we'd eat a little bit and get back to work, even as we finished eating. |
When we were in the jury room, there were tears shed. It was a difficult process to stand in judgment of someone else. |
