    Jury duty helps explain. If I remember correctly, the vote was "9-3".

    Yes - unlike criminal jury trials requiring 100% unanimously - civil trials (in calif) are decided by percentage of jury voters. That's fair because it's easier for the plaintiff to win. Instead of beyond a reasonable doubt (ie; it's not reasonable that the sun won't rise tomorrow - because a death star may theoretically blow up the sun) - in a civil trial - it's more likely you believe one view or the other - tipping that scale - 51%.

    Wouldn’t that make for less deliberation?

    Unfortunately depends on how much successful smoke and mirrors the plaintiff manages to put forth.

    Judging from their lawyers comments after the verdict, not much.

    but I have to think on any jury, you’re going to get people with biases on both sides of the issue with a topic like Tesla self driving

    After four days, someone probably caved cause they just wanted to go home
