Civil juries don't have to be unanimous. rsdsharp Apr 2023 #6

That's a relief! For some reason, I thought this was a federal lawsuit. Beakybird Apr 2023 #13

You're right. Brian fart on my part. rsdsharp Apr 2023 #14

Well, the lawsuit is in the New York Supreme Court. Beakybird Apr 2023 #16

That rule is the New York State rule. It doesn't apply in federal court. rsdsharp Apr 2023 #23
