[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone seen interview with the jurors? I'm very confused by how this unfolded because I don't understand how they were deadlocked on the higher charge (indicating that at least one person wanted to convict for manslaughter) but then unanimous in finding him not guilty of the lower charge of criminally negligent homicide. That doesn't make sense.[/quote] That’s not what happened. The DA dropped the higher charge before the juror could consider it, perhaps understanding that they had a weak case and perhaps in part expecting the juror to return a hung verdict so they could use the prospect of another prosecution on the higher charge as leverage for a plea agreement. It looks like there was probably only one or two jurors who were in favor of conviction and it took a little time for the rest of the jury to convince them.[/quote]
