I probably should know this but..

who is the mysterious seventh juror?

All the juries I've been on have 6 people. When it's 3-3,
who makes the deciding vote, how does it work?

Update (sort of) on Lonelyboy

following up to this thread: Seeking advice regarding a kitty

http://www.democraticunderground.com/101848328

After the last posting and everyone's helpful replies,
and unsuccessful attempts to catch him & take to a vet,
and further contemplations concerns appearances and
many weeks later, he seemed to have disappeared,
& I wondered if he had died. (The last couple of times
I'd seen him he'd apparently been in some big fights
and was all torn up.) But we weren't hearing him any
longer in the middle of the night and he wasn't showing
up on the roof, or at dinnertime.

Well, the other night I heard his familiar meeowlling
outside our porch, and saw him up on a perch, wearing
one of those humiliating plastic cones pets get after
surgery. He was only there for a minute and I haven't
seen him since, but am curious to find out what kind of
care he's gotten -- I imagine that if he went to a vet
for any reason, they would have neutered him? yes?

Someone recommended this to me -- easy for a layman to grasp. I haven't watched it all but think many here might like it. It's about the scientific or mathematical proof of how within the finite, is the infinite.

Don't know which group or forum best to post.

Seeking advice regarding a kitty

This is about a cat who may or may not be homeless, who
is pulling on my heartstrings so I'm looking for wise advice
& insights.

He looks (almost) like this:

He still has his balls which makes me wonder if he is
a homeless tom. He doesn't seem to be starving, but
he always comes crying for food. I've been leaving out
some dry food and water just in case. Doesn't seem traumatized,
or mean, just lonely and maybe hungry. He came in the door
a couple of times (even though I have 3 cats in the house
much of the time.) I can't let him in any more though
because he sprays; but I think he wants the warmth and
company.

I noticed his ears looked very dirty inside (he doesn't let
me touch him, but comes close to me now.

He's very gentle and non-agressive with my cats. I've seen
him touch noses with one of my (neutered) boy cats.

He comes into my porch and cries at the door. In the night
I hear him crying outside my window. So I don't know if
he has a home, or not, or if I should feed him, or not,
or if I should take him to a vet, or not, or what, any advice???

I don't need another cat but if he has nobody else I'll
take him on even though I can't afford it, but so what.
BUt if he's already somebody's cat.. and I don't know how
to find that out.

Many thanks in advance for any help.
