If two refuse to decide or decide based on threats external to the case/courtroom, why aren't they replaced by juror alternates?
It certainly seems like the sort of thing that should immediately prompt at response from the Judge.
Allowing a jury who openly admit they are intimidated to rule on a case, is allowing mob rule by proxy.
At minimum, I hope those jurors were told they must not allow outside threats to pervert the trial.
