The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And over at the Clancy trial the defense is claiming there's a recalcitrant juror who is blocking...letting her off:

mediaite.com - Watch clancy defense lawyer goes off in court suggests a single juror is standing in the way of a not guilty v

The court has an instruction from the foreperson of that jury that’s been working for a week now saying that there’s one juror who refuses to listen to the law that you’ve given him or her on reasonable doubt, and I suggest, respectfully, that the soft instruction that you gave them, saying at the sidebar, can you listen to the law as I instruct you, does not focus on the issue. It is the question is not sufficient enough.

It does not allow any foundation for a motion to remove the juror who refuses to accept your instructions on the law, on reasonable doubt. And if we come back here in a half an hour with a mistrial, because of a juror that has just spurned the instructions of this court, it’s a shame. It’s a real shame. And that’s why I object to the court’s ruling. I request that we have further inquiry. I request that — my motion is to remove this juror that refuses to listen to your instruction on reasonable doubt.

OMG. This is implying there are 11 jurors who think this woman should be acquitted or (presumably) found not guilty for reason of insanity.
