They described deliberations as being so heated that they were yelling at each other. I find that extremely weird. On the one hand the decision is based on them deciding if she could determine right from wrong. I can see someone saying she could and I can see someone saying they thought she couldn't. But let's be real, neither of you can really know for sure and the idea that this means "there is doubt, hence she must be innocent" is idiotic. The court cannot be asking you to do the impossible and if you can't then the defendant is innocent, such an interpretation is idiotic. No, they are asking you to do something that is very difficult to the best of your ability. You would have to enter this process unbiased meaning you have a 50/50 chance of voting either way. Then you weigh the evidence. On the one hand we have evidence that she couldn't discern right from wrong, maybe ten or fifteen years of psychiatrists diagnosing her with this, a period of time in an insane asylum, a history of very odd behavior, etc. On the other hand you have the evidence that this was planned, methodical, and she had operated in a way to make sure those who would try to stop her were not there. You decide which side of the scales has moved more and then you vote. You don't change your vote because you are in the minority. You change your vote because someone points out evidence you hadn't considered and when you add that to the scales it changes your view.Good point. It turns out this whole "one lone holdout" has left out important information that there were four who thought she was guilty but when it became clear the 8 who were voting "innocent" were adamant and weren't changing three of them capitulated. So their anger at the fourth person not explaining himself was after very long and tedious and fruitless attempts at presenting a case for saying she was guilty.
WOW! "The Standalone Juror Was Not The Only One"
