That's my understanding. But at least 1 juror wanted the distinction clarified and that concerns me Personally I thought Justice Byrne made it perfectly clear (well as far as the law would allow), that manslaughter was not on the table here but evidently not. Alioop said something along the same lines earlier today, juries are a total lottery. You could get 12 intelligent individuals or you could get a jury where their combined IQ would struggle to reach room temperature and their only serious deliberations were deciding what part of their jury service pay was to go on alcohol, and what part would be put aside for drugs.
Yes that's right (except you need to convince 11 other people in this case).
that's why it should be majority of 75% arent' there places where only a majority is required
