Juries are not decided by a majority decision...they must be unanimous. Therefore, as long as someone dissents, then conversation must continue.

Is this true in civil cases? I think what he was talking about is more likely to occur in a a civil matter as that is about money nad "sticking it to the deep pocketed corporation."

Has to unanimous, but juror can allocate between the parties. Also in civil cases, there is no reasonable doubt standard. The standard is a preponderance of the evidence which is what leads to the allocation of blame.
