DescriptionA woman excused from the jury at U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez's corruption trial on Thursday said she was dead set against convicting the New Jersey Democrat.

“If I would have been there all the way to the end, it would have been not guilty," said Evelyn Arroyo-Maultsby, 61, of Hillside. "All the way to the end, not guilty.”

Arroyo-Maultsby described the dynamics in the jury room as "very stressful" and said the "majority is still saying not guilty."

But there is at least one adamant hold out, she said.

"We have someone in there that definitely doesn't want to hear it," she told reporters as she left the federal courthouse in Newark. “I think it’s going to be a hung jury.”
