I would like to think that gender was irrelevant in the jurors inability to agree upon a unanimous verdict (be it "life" or "death").
And, there are currently 3 women on Arizona's death row already.
However, the jury foreman (male) is giving interviews. I haven't heard any of them in full, but HLN is playing a clip where the foreman says that it was difficult for him to "look at" Arias and connect that image with her horrible crimes.
So, maybe there is some validity to appearance and gender preventing some jurors from sentencing Arias to death, even though they found her guilty of premeditated murder with an aggravating factor of cruelty.
It'll be interesting to hear interviews with more of the jurors too.
