As a juror in this criminal case, with which side would you agree

If the jury unanimously agrees on the guilt of a defendant, the case is usually returned to the judge for sentencing. If the jury can't agree, they usually get an "Allen" charge to try again, or the case ends in a mistrial. No matter what criminal charge you're facing or what jury is convening to decide your fate

On the other hand, each of the ex Confederate states had to create its own pension system.
