Judge always asks for a unanimous verdict at first.
If after an (unspecified) amount of time they haven’t reached a verdict the judge may say he’ll accept a majority of either 11-1 or 10-2

@Morning_Star I hadn’t finished the prior post but somehow it was posted anyway. Sorry! Was meaning to say I much prefer seeing all the older places in the world with their history, amazing architecture, works of art, etc. The US is beautiful and has so much to see but it’s your side of the pond that takes my breath away.

I can't believe we've reached this point.
When I started reading back in October, I never thought that they'd only be in deliberations now. I'm back at work now after my maternity leave started mid October.
I know I've been absent, so hope everyone here is ok and if you aren't, I'm sending huge hugs your way.
