That jury deliberation room and that could mean a hung jury. >> now, as a defense attorney, of course, that is cause to think that there might be a seed of reasonable doubt, but this point here that omar mentioned, the idea of the jury wanting to take potters gun out of the evidence box, to hold it, remove the zip ties. this case has been about not whether or not she intended to kill this young man, 20-year-old daunte wright who was shot during the derek chauvin trial we might add but the idea o...

Daunte wright who was shot during the derek chauvin trial we might add but the idea of was it reasonable? was it culpable negligence? was it reckless for her to mistake this one weapon for another. are you thinking this is, by looking at the gun, by trying to hold it, it goes to that notion of whether it was preposterous for her to believe and make this mistake? >> thats one way you could interpret what the question is, laura, but also maybe the jurors are believing her. she gave very emotional ...
