It is, but I I I don't see this continuing beyond this week.
I I mean, I think when you re when a judge reads the Tui Rodriguez charge to a jury, it is really seen in many respects as a last ditch effort.
And it's a very delicate balance for the judge i in this position.
You know, at what point are you actually coercing a jury?
to just get in line and reach a unanimous verdict.
And and and that would go against the the purpose of this trial and the caution with which this jury have have approached this trial.
You know, and I I think many people would
you know, say, well, if you can't reach a unanimous decision, is there a conversation around beyond reasonable doubt in the first place?
Um and so I think what's important to note as well is that there's been a lot of conversation here.
Um, and I will say a lot of criticism about the fact that the jury were not sequestered.
They were not put in a hotel during deliberations with their phones taken away, no access to internet.
But in one respect I will say maybe Judge Sullivan did that.
to avoid people saying, Look, I need to get back to my normal life.
You know, we're we're transitioning from summer into school season.
You know, there's a lot of parents on the on this jury, I would imagine.
And and and people saying, you know
Oh look, I'm in the minority here.
I'm just gonna, you know, join the rest um just to just to reach an end to this.
And so I I I I I don't see people on day six suddenly changing their position.
I think people are really, really strong in their convictions of how they feel about that.
