It looks like the judge is siding with the prosecution and ordering the jury to go back into deliberation.

If I were a juror I would pipe up and say that there is no way I am changing my mind, 9 days is enough, and what you are doing is cruel and unusual and I object to what you are doing. The judge I think is out of line here. Trying to coerce a verdict does not sit well with me.

High School legal studies, I wrote an essay rubbishing the idea of un-knowledgeable juries... and called for a number of expert juries who actually know what they're talking about, depending on the evidence in the case...

If it's good enough for the Oscars, it's good enough for the legal system...

Actually I favor juries for serious criminal cases, which this probably qualifies as.
