Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It would take longer than that to get the whole jury on board to nullify or agree not guilty, and if you can't, a hung jury wouldn't be declared until days later

The trial I was on I hung the jury and the total time from the start of the trial to declaring the jury hung was a day and a half.
