The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
There aren't any rules about a juror being biased so long as that juror believes (or is willing to say that) he or she can render a fair verdict. he or she believes that. So long as the juror didn't lie about their history when asked then lol on the defense for not asking.

This is exactly the opposite of what the defense was trying do in voir dire.

This, though they should have voired the loving poo poo out of him.
Either that or he's an rear end in a top hat and they hoped he'd turn the whole jury against him (which they kinda may based on the quick snitching).

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/26/u...WT.nav=top-news

I mean, it is possible that they have reached some sort of split verdict, but I kinda doubt it. Sounds more like they did a poll for each charge (juries do that) and found some disagreement and wondered what happened. To say they have a "partial verdict" is pretty bullshit. I've had juries confide that they were in the majority for guilty/not guilty in the first polling and go the opposite way eventually. It means almost nothing.

edit2: A law degree should be required to report on trials. One of the reason I haven't followed this case as closely as I want to is that journalists are dumber than jurors when it comes to the law and how a trial works, and it is annoying as hell to follow what they think matter (as they leave out the important facts) and interpret things that don't exist or matter.

The appeals process is going to be precious.

Plus they'll be trying to appeal this trial while on trial in NV for the bunkerville showdown.

Is the jury trying to figure out a point of law with regard to conspiracy charges? Like the OPB podcast said a few times that if one person is guilty of conspiracy then everyone accused is guilty, but it seems like the jury agrees there was a conspiracy but there's degrees of involvement. Like Ryan & Ammon are definitely the ringleaders, and Frye is just some poor mentally ill sap in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hope Medeved and Cox go down, but they may not have been part of the conspiracy officially.

I'm happy if Frye walks (especially into a lot of therapy), but I want to drink deep of the tears of impotent rage when Ryan and Ammon are sent down, Cox as well for a deserved slap for her sovcit bullshit.

Needless to say the Bundy facebook page is now full of how Juror 11 must be a federal plant and how the GOOD LORD empowered Juror 4 to see into his heart and expose the wickedness.

Also some of them seem to be convinced that if a single charge isn't proven then it's a mistrial.

Reading the article and the letters, it seems that the jury was mostly just conflicted on whether they had to apply 100% of the charges to 100% of the defendants or if they could agree that certain people like David Fry weren't as guilty of the exact same things as Ryan and Ammon Bundy. The judge's response ("You apply each charge to each defendant separately") suggests that the militants who were the worst are going to bear the brunt of it, while someone like David Fry who was just mentally ill and caught up in the insanity isn't going to be given 50 years in maximum security.

He's the twitchy one we nicknamed Kylo Meth who, if I remember right, it turns out wasn't really dedicated to the cause like the other extremists because he was genuinely crazy and only got kept around because Finicum liked and spoke up for him.

He was one of the final four still on the sanctuary having been abandoned by the others for being annoying to them due to his illness. He was the last to be talked out by the FBI while various wingnuts egged him on and threatened suicide multiple times.

He agreed to leave if everyone yelled "Hallelujah!!" They did and he left.

david fry is a messianic jew that is also an unmedicated schizophrenic. for a closer to home example look to former syrian prison camp survivor and infamous forums crazy person kevin patrick "caro" dawes. This particular form of mental illness breeds suspicion and paranoia. Thanks to the joys of the internet, Fry got mixed up online with tarpman finicum and became online buddies. He was fed a constant stream of sovcit beliefs from his new friends and decided to join them. He was considered an outsider at the refuge and ignored largely by most people outside LaVoy. He was actually supposed to be in the truck with Finicum but got left behind.

Ostensibly he came from a decent home and has a decent family, but he's just not well unfortunately. He was the last holdouts and genuinely believed bad men were going to kill him.

There were 26 defendants initially. A number of them have already pleaded guilty to charges brought.

Here's a list of the initial round of charges:

There were originally dozens of people and possibly up to 100 or more out at the refuge including underage children. Most people bailed out without being there too long which is their only saving grace. If the government wanted to pursue every single person that went out, they could. Instead they're focusing more on the people who actually planned and executed the occupation rather than just a bunch of people that showed up for a few days and went home.
