Isn't a hung jury = acquittal? Does the jury need to be unanimous?
If that tweet's accurate, the only backlash would be if they acquit, so that indicates a 10 and 2 split right?
Isn't double jeopardy a thing?
Is this something Aus has over the US? A hung jury is an acquittal here.
US seems to have DJ laws, but hung jury isn't an acquittal, thus it's eligible for retrial.
Double Jeopardy is a thing, but if they want, they'll find some minutiae and ignore it.
