1. ““THE COURT: Okay. Wait a minute. We have a choice. He [the defendant] can either go with 11, or I am not going to ask this lady to come back on Monday under the circumstances. We can either declare a mistrial, stay tonight or go with 11. “[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: I would assume it would have to be stay tonight or go with the 11. I would have to ask my client if he would go with the 11, if that’s the alternative. “THE COURT: Why don’t you go down there and we will wait right now. “(The juror went back to the jury box.) “([Defense counsel] returned to the bench and the following ensued:) “[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: Your Honor, could I ask the State’s Attorney if their intentions are to prosecute the case if it’s a mistrial? My client has advised me— “THE COURT: You know they aré going to prosecute him. “[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: My client has advised me that he does not want to interfere with this person’s surgery, and he will go with the 11. “THE COURT: He will go with the 11? Okay.””
