Just hours after the verdict, a stunning allegation.
I just got off the phone with juror number 11.
Corrine Kovacs is juror number 11, the lone holdout during deliberations.
Do you think Margaret Rudin is guilty of murder?
Kovacs believes prosecutors failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
She told 48 Hours she was pressured into voting guilty.
And when she refused to change her mind, she says the other jurors became nasty and belligerent.
But the jurors we talked to dispute Kovacs' claims.
On the fifth day of deliberations, Kovacs changed her vote.
Had Corrine Kovacs voted her conscience, it would have meant a hung jury and a new trial, which is what Margaret Rudin wants most.
But for Brenda Woods and the rest of Ron Rudin's family, this case is closed.
They were extremely happy. You could just see that.
