I previously served on a jury that was unable to reach a verdict (it was 9-3 not guilty, I was with the majority). I have jury duty coming up soon. Would you expect people who were on a hung jury to get removed?

It’s not guaranteed, but it’s a possibility. They’ll probably ask if you were on a jury before and if the jury reached a verdict. Being on a hung jury is not a reason to excuse you for cause, but the prosecutor might use a peremptory (discretionary) strike on you.

That said, if you'd like to serve on a jury, you could volunteer that it was a 9-3 split. That would convey that you weren't a solitary holdout, and it might alleviate concerns about you.
