In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the mistrial in the Karen Read case, expressing surprise that it didn't end in an outright acquittal. She explores the psychology of jury deliberations, noting that deeply entrenched opinions likely prevented a unanimous verdict.
