2017(People v. Superior Court (1967) 67 Cal.2d 929, 932 .) “The trial judge has the opportunity to observe the subtle factors of demeanor and tone of voice which mark the distinction between acquiescence and evasion of individual choice.

1971The subsequent equivocation of a single juror was a matter to be weighed in light of the circumstances by the trial judge who alone “has the opportunity to observe the subtle factors of demeanor and tone of voice.” (People v. Superior Court, 67 Cal.2d 929, 932 [ 64 Cal.Rptr. 327 , 434 P.2d 623 , 25 A.L.R.3d 1143 ].) The single request for repetition of the instructions in the present case was insufficient to impeach the declarations of the majority where the instructions had been twice repeated and the jury had already deliberated at length.

1984The Fifth Circuit in Rebozo v. Washington Post Co. (1981) 637 F.2d 375 , undertook such an analysis and reached the following conclusion: “[T]he standard of review of First Amendment defamation actions, as in all summary judgment cases, is whether the record, construed in a light most favorable to the party against whom the judgment has been entered, demonstrates there are genuine issues of fact which, if proven, would support a jury verdict for that party.
