Late last week, as the jury went into deliberations, messages came back to the court that one juror had effectively stalled the process. The juror did not ask to again see the evidence presented at trial nor did they suggest that they would change their mind in their conclusion.
The jury sent a note to the court stating they were “hopelessly deadlocked.” The judge presiding over the case declared a mistrial as a result of the 11-to-1 hung jury.
“She didn’t even go back to [look at the evidence]. She had her mind made up before she walked in,” a family member of one of the victims told local media.
I *think* that juror could get in trouble for lying during jury selection, ie "Have you made your mind up" or "Will you consider all of the facts", etc.
Regardless, there will be another trial and hopefully a rogue juror isn't selected.

i would certainly hope so, but think of all the wasted money - not to mention emotional stress - that this idiot has already wreaked.
If the killer was white and the victimes were black, this would be news headlines and the headlines would read, “White Supremacist”, “Hate Crime serial murderer”.
Dude has a long rap sheet in Texas, where he murdered all those women.
"Chemirmir has convictions for driving under the influence in Addison and Dallas in 2010 and 2011, receiving fines and short custodial sentences.[4] In July 2012, Chemirmir was arrested for assault on his then-girlfriend and in June 2016 for trespassing at Edgemere Retirement Community. He pleaded no contest to both charges later that year.[4][5]"
