The first time we voted me and 7 other jurors voted to find the hospital negligent. We needed one more vote.

We talked for 10 minutes, nothing substantive was said except the minister in the room said he was changing his vote from guilty to not guilty.

We took a second vote and the next vote was 1-11 with me being the only one who thought the hospital was guilty.

I asked what just happened to change the mind of 6 other jurors. Nobody said a word. So, I only assume everybody changed their vote when the minster said he was changing his vote. That and maybe everyone just wanted to go home. After all, we had been deliberating for a full 25 minutes.

Someone asked me if i wanted to change my vote to make it unanimous. I said hell no.

As for my comments, I’m saying that Trumps lawyers are saying that he didn’t make an alleged payment to tamper with the election. That’s what i mean when i say “political reasons”.

The point is there is no trial unless alleged campaign finance laws are being violated. So, I would have a hint of politics in the court room.

Also, I was laser focused when the attorneys and witnesses were talking. During side bars I didn’t stare down the defendant or the people in the gallery but i can’t say i never looked at either.

Besides, the defendant (a nurse for the hospital) was a basket case once she got on the witness stand.

I hope he "had the balls" to stick to the facts and render a fair decision.
