Exactly. Whatever this 13- or 14- or 15-member jury decides will not be accepted by anyone.
Hopefully, they'll vote guilty, but I'm not placing any bets. At least then, there'd be an appeal and another trial. If Scott goes free, can the State file for a mistrial?
I think no matter who wins, a mistrial will be filed. Whatever verdict it is, is going to get overturned, easy. California's ridiculous jury laws get part of the blame here, imo.
