Well mine was a civil case, so it was majority vote. We had ten jurors and at least 7 needed to agree for a verdict.

Seeing as her car damage was already paid for by the guy's insurance, I didn't think she deserved crap beyond an apology. Unfotunately seven of them disagreed with me and argued over how much she should get.

I really felt sorry for the guy because he was just a plain old guy. He didn't have a rich mommy and daddy and he didn't have gobs of cash laying around, much less what she was asking for.

I would have been sympathetic for her condition if she wasn't an idiot who ran up bills she couldn't pay and actively trying to destroy someone else's life in the process.
