What’s holding up a jury?

They request an FBI interview with Caroline, one of Maxwell’s accusers, whose accusations form the basis of the charges carrying the harshest punishment. They asked whether the testimony of Annie Farmer, the last defendant at the trial, could count in two counts of conspiracy against Ms. Maxwell.

Dr. Huntley Taylor believed that the requests were a positive sign for Mrs. Maxwell.

However, she cautioned, it’s hard to draw concrete conclusions about what jurors might think, except that they take the defendants’ testimony seriously.

Dr Huntley Taylor told The Telegraph: “The amount of time a jury takes to deliberate, combined with a Post-its request and a whiteboard, indicates that the jury is working hard.” “With a high-profile case like this, they are working hard to make it right.”

The jury must reach a unanimous decision on any of the six charges facing Maxwell if she is to be found guilty. If they fail to reach a consensus on any of the charges, the judge can declare trial error.

Dr Huntley Taylor added: “What they haven’t directly indicated is that they are unable to agree on any particular fees.” “They seem excited to come to a verdict, although the path that goes that way is still anyone’s guess.”
