did a good decision. >> reporter: jury number three said not hearing from developer ron ron lipscum caused some problems. >> we were confused because they gave us some information then they took it back. so we were scribbling and scrapping through information we had. >> reporter: but she said it did not bother her that the mayor did not take the stand in her defense. >> it was brought up that she was the mayor, that she is an important person. >> reporter: for everyone in that jury room, it was an emotional decision. >> you feel you have someone's life in our hand. there comes a time when we had to put things aside and look right and wrong. >> reporter: the jurors say it came down to the facts. >> i personally believe that you do the crime, you pay the time. and if you commit something, i don't think you should get away with it if nobody else can. >> i took it from the beginning as open as any juror should and just, fair field, neutral. jurors actually deliberated longer than they heard testimony. they say opinions were constantly shifting in that jury room and the turning point was when they learned that a partial verdict was acceptable. reporting live in courthouse

process works, and i think she should have lost her job. >> reporter: a political science professor at john hopkins professor thinks this will happen next. >> it might be better for her not to resign
