#5 This goes against the grain of the typical legal thinking during a criminal trial. Think of all the reasons that lawyers can get a month, a week, a day, or at least several hours delay over some really petty reason. Even though judges don't like to make juries stay longer than necessary, anything that makes it sound like "hurry up and reach a decision" is going to create trouble. In this case, the jury itself had asked for a delay, which the judge denied. If this defendant keeps appealing, I would give him even odds of winning.
