How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “Contrary to the trial court’s ruling, the juror did not fail to deliberate, but instead had reached her decision after having fully deliberated for more than two days.”
• juror’s concern about “getting back to her business” was not evidence that she could not perform her duties as a juror and did not amount to legal cause for dismissal from jury service
• trial court abused discretion in removal of holdout juror who arrived at conclusion and, after two days of deliberations, refused to participate further and asked to be removed, going so far as to leave the jury room and wait in the courtroom
