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.



I heard the beeb say that the judge said that the jury's questions
'betrayed deep ignorance of the judicial process' so who knows?
