Ahhhhhh!
We are now in our third day of jury deliberations. The closing arguments concluded just before the lunch break on Tuesday and we started deliberating that afternoon. It's a complicated case but based on the evidence presented I've made up my own mind.
14 hours of deliberating later we are still hung on question #2 of a 12 questions jury form. It's a civil case so only 9 of us have to agree. We're stuck 8 to 4. I'm with the majority. If we can't agree tomorrow morning we're going to have to inform the judge and I guess they declare a mistrail, I'm not sure.
A couple of the other jurors, who've been on civil cases before said the judge would just send us back into the jury room to try some more but at that point we'd have been going around in the same circle for so long and I don't think anyone is inclined to change their mind. At this point I just want it to be over.
