Making some comments on the jurors. I don't know how he could access this type of info so take it work a grain of salt.
ETA:
Two jurors holding decision up, outright citing backlash, per US Marshal in Kenosha
More: Worried about media leaking their names, what will happen to their families, jobs, etc

Leave your name, location and next of kin if you try to attack and kill somebody in WI.

In my experience, no. Unless the juror asks to be dismissed for some reason or gets sick. They have no way of knowing which juror/jurors are holding out. The jury is probably sending notes out to the judge giving him basic progress not telling him who is holding out.
The first jury I served on was a hung jury and they never asked us who voted which way. After the judge called a mistrial I did get a phone call that was basically a polling call asking me how close the vote was. But I don't think in a criminal case they are allowed to ask until after a mistrial is declared. I may be wrong but that was my impression at the time.

Sure.
I mean I think so.
Would they?
I have no idea, but it sounds like they might not vote their conscience, out of fear.

If they were holding it up based on potential backlash only I'm sure they would be removed and replaced by 2 of the spare jurors they have on the 'bench'.
