Question Presented (from Petition)
Does a trial court violate a criminal defendant's Sixth Amendment right to trial by jury when it dismisses a defense holdout juror on the third day of deliberations for "failing to deliberate," even though other jurors report that the juror had been participating in the deliberations by discussing the case, discussing his point of view, and listening to the other jurors?
