12 people gotta agree
The jury handed the judge a note asking for guidance on how to fill out a verdict form for a single count if it can't come to consensus on that count.
The judge told them that if they can't reach a unanimous conclusion on any single count, he will ask them if they have reached a unanimous consensus on other counts.
The headline here looked like the jury was hung but they might only be hung on one or two counts. I love a good courtroom drama.
Update: The judge rejects the defense's request to provide the jury with the option of being hung on an individual count.
