Economist Vicky Price faces a retrial after admitting to taking speeding penalty points for her ex-husband, politician Chris Hume. She claimed coercion, but the jury was undecided. The jury's confusion led to questions that baffled the judge and lawyers, including queries about reasonable doubt. The judge, surprised by the questions, noted the jury's lack of understanding. Despite the prosecutor's call to abandon the trial, it continued. Chris Hume pleaded guilty to the charges, but his sentencing awaits the conclusion of Price's retrial.
