>> Yeah, Shannon and Trey, my Twitter's been on fire ever since I put out Trey, what you reported earlier today that four jurors could agree on one crime, four jurors could agree on a different crime and four jurors could agree on a different crime other than that. And as long as it adds up to 12, that's okay. So it's not unanimity on exactly what the crime is, but you get 12 jurors saying he's guilty. As Andy said earlier today, he doesn't know how to square that with the constitution. Trey, you want to go first then, Shannon? >> I don't want to go first because I don't know how to square it either. I think what makes it even more complicated is, I mean, I would have asked for a special verdict form, at least tell us which crime you picked. The judge mentioned three crimes, but as Andy and Shannon and I have been discussing, it could be a crime that the judge didn't even mention. Furthermore, when does something become a crime? To me, it's when a jury of 12 says you're guilty or when you admit it, but crime has a specific meaning to me, does it have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt? What are the elements of this unknown crime? It is, to me, void for vagueness.
