The Today Show (NBC) has this interview with six of the jurors.  Clearly, this is a very conscientious group of people.

Connecticut does not have the "single juror veto" rule.  The jury must be unanimous one way or the other, or it's a mistrial (as in, e.g., California).  The quality of deliberations in this case was surely affected by the fact that no juror knew he could veto the decision of the others just by holding out.  We have had some ugly reports of jurors doing just that in states with single juror veto.

In states that have that rule and have a more victim-friendly legislature as a result of the recent election, a priority on the agenda should be repealing the rule.
