The jury in Blagojevich's retrial has come to a verdict on most of the counts, after the previous jury deadlocked.
I read this bit in an msnbc report:
Quote:
When jurors do deadlock, it is often at trials where the charges are complex and where the evidence appears ambiguous, a 2002 federally funded study by The National Center for State Courts found.

Umm, it took a study to figure that out? When jury's can't agree, it's because the case is complex and ambiguous. Published in the pages of
Duh Magazine no doubt.
(I'm sure the study said a lot more than that, I was just amuse at how stupidly trivial that summary sounds).
