Hi Seabiscuit. Have you moseyed on over to the other corral recently? Check under Welcome Seekers and also Messages at the top of the webpage. We ended up with a hung jury! 😡😢😲 After 6 hours of deliberating, 4 yesterday and 2 hours this morning. We could not reach a consensus. People shifted on 3 charges we had to decide but not enough that we were ever going to get 12 or even 11(which is a majority decision and can be allowed after 5 hours). The problem was the reasonable doubt on the burden of proof. Ie some people just did not belief the complainant enough. There were some inconsistencies and no forensic evidence. The crown (prosecution) has to prove guilt and it was one of those trials that the evidence essentially was her police interview, statements in court and what she told someone else who then was a witness in court.Only her and defendant were there and he sure as hell wasnt admiting anything. There will now be another trial at a future date. So upsetting.
