Thanks to the OJ trial and the George Zimmerman trial, we know that Dupree will have a minimum on 5 votes.

Dupree-Ware Trial
- Thread starter All Eagle
- Start date
No doubt. Very common after the jury comes back deadlocked.
What I didn't realize is that DuPree's attorney's weren't simply making that request because of late hour. They did it in response to the jury telling the judge they could not reach a verdict.
Looks like he's going to keep the jury in there a while longer before recessing. This might be a hopeless cause, because it appears the jury came back very quickly to suggest they could not reach a decision. That likely suggests the two camps in the jury room are adamant about their positions.

It's divisive (I assume that's what you meant) to want fair, legal elections?
If so, then go ahead and put me down under the "dividers" column.
But you're right about one thing -- this is one of the reasons we are where we are. We've allowed a bunch of inept local officials to run Hattiesburg into the ground for far too long.
This is nuts! The jury came back with a 9-3 verdict for Dave Ware, then the judge polled the jury 3 times to ensure the verdict was correct. The jurors kept coming back 8-4. Judge then sent the jury back in to confirm.
DuPree's attorneys immediately started asking for the judge to declare a mistrial, saying that the jury was hopelessly deadlocked. That's clearly not the case, because they had enough in the jury room to render a verdict.
It seems that one of the jurors switched their vote when they had to sit in open court.
There's some real monkey business going on down there. Stay tuned.

Yep sounds like jury intimidation. One doesn't want their vote known in open. Judge should give the obvious answer for them.

Clearly, there is a juror voting for Ware that is afraid to be publicly outed. That is clearly what the judge is dealing with right now. They need to protect these jurors and poll them individually.
Don't let intimidation keep these crooks in office!

I predicted a MISTRIAL earlier and felt the vote would be 7 - 5.....I was wrong on the vote is was 8 - 4 but it still is a mistrial.
Disgusting-disgusting-disgusting.
And the Hattiesburg Saga continues. It should be obvious that some form of voter ID should be required in all future elections.

Apparently the HA has a picture that shows the second note from the jury right before the judge requested the jurors write their name on the paper was a second 9-3 verdict.
