How can there be a deadlock? From what I've been reading (I've never even been in a court), the verdict of guilty must be unanimous, I believe(d).
Do all 12 jurors have to agree on either guilty or not guilty???
No not necessarily but then you have a hung jury which means it could be tried again. There are other issues. I only know about a hung jury.
In order to convict yes. In criminal trials it has to be unanimous.
