So is it a nobbled jury or is the real reason that they cannot get a 10-2
majority is because of "the jury of eight women and four men" are split 8 -
4? IMHO it's a battle of the sexes and nothing to do with justice.



From the limited bit I heard, it sounded as if they were in competition
with planks for thickness. But who really knows? At least at the moment.
