I was on a jury last year, consisting of twelve white guys. Shit was cash. We had some twists and turns, but we pretty much arrived at a consensus that the accused was guilty of all charges. We only had two emotional holdouts, because the charges were pretty severe for the acts involved, even though they technically qualified.

One of the holdouts relented on the final charge, while the other admitted that while he believed the defendant did what he was accused of, he couldn't in good conscience say he was guilty, because he felt the court's charges were overzealous. It wasn't his place to do this, but thankfully, the judge told us that 11-1 would suffice in that scenario and finally let us go free.
