The jury in U.S. lawyer Michael Avenatti's fraud trial on Friday asked the judge overseeing the case to 'please help us' deal with one member of the 12-person panel they said was refusing to deliberate based on the evidence in the case.

"We have one juror who is refusing to look at evidence and is acting on a feeling," the jury said in a note to U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman. "She does not believe she needs to prove her side using evidence and refuses to show us how she has come to her conclusion...please help us move forward."It was not clear whether the juror in question was leaning toward convicting or acquitting Avenatti.
Avenatti, who is representing himself in the case, requested a mistrial after Furman read the note in open court without the jury present. Prosecutors asked Furman to inquire as to the juror's identity, evaluate the situation, and potentially dismiss the juror. Daniels, whose given name is Stephanie Clifford, is known for receiving $130,000 in hush money from then-U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, in exchange for keeping quiet ahead of the 2016 election about sexual encounters she says she had with Trump, who denies they took place.
