Hung jury. All 12 jurors have to agree and come to a unanimous verdict for not guilty or for guilty. So I think it likely that there’ll be a hung jury and a re-trial at some later date. Which will be even more of a shit show.
Such a pity the Scottish law verdict of ‘not proven’ is not available here in Victoria. Which basically means We know you done it but there’s no evidence.
I do think the r/deathcapdinner mob (and I chose that word deliberately) need to be reminded of the basic human right of being innocent until proven guilty.
