Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether this Court should decide that the repeated questioning of
jurors who have complained about one juror (who is obviously a holdout) is
tantamount to the forbidden questioning in Brasfield v. United States, 272 U.S.
448 (1927) that the trial court may not inquire as to the numerical division of a
jury when it is unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
Question Presented (AI Summary)
