Do you believe a jury decision in a criminal case should be unanimous or not? Do you believe a jury decision in a criminal case should be unanimous or...

This is an
interesting question.  I think it is possible for jurors to be bullied and bought since guilty
verdicts must be unanimous.  It is easy to muscle your way to an acquittal than a conviction.  I
would like to believe that all jurors begin with their hearts in the right place, but enough
days or months of missing work and being stuck with 12 people can take its
toll.
