Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether repeated questioning of jurors about a holdout juror violates Brasfield v. United States

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED Whether this Court should decide that the repeated questioning of jurors who have complained about one juror (who is obviously a holdout) is tantamount to the forbidden questioning in Brasfield v. United States, 272 U.S. 448 (1927) that the trial court may not inquire as to the numerical division of a jury when it is unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
