For the accused to be judged by a jury of his peers.

I think when the evidence is presented there often remain a lot of questions by the jury. The deliberations allow the jury to bounce these questions off other jurors to see what they missed.

I guess what I'm asking. I just watched a documentary where the trial lasted several weeks. The jury received the case and after a few days came back and said they could not reach a unanimous verdict. The judge ordered them back into chambers to try again. For the first time I questioned the deliberation process.
My question is should the matter of guilt and innocence ultimately boil down to which side is more stubborn, persuasive, and able to impose its will on the other? I was just thinking that it is the duty of the attorneys to convince the jurors of its "conviction". If after an entire trial, a juror is convinced of guilt or innocence should they be thrown into a situation where someone else can convince them otherwise?

So, you think after the closing arguments the jury should write their votes down? That almost makes sense.
The thought had not occurred to me until today, but that is almost what I'm wondering. Is it advantageous to lock the 12 up in a room where stronger personalities, weaker personalities, frustration, stubbornness, persuasion, vendettas, and other elements could come into play? Would it be a terrible thing to present the case and have a jury of peers give their individual convictions based on the evidence they heard?

I think they do need tAlk after the evidence is presented. I am sure there are things to work through, and even ask the court to clarify some of the presentations/evidence.
