I get what you're saying but optics are irrelevant nowadays. They could deliberate for a full month and the reaction from the left would be no different than if the jury deliberated for 30 seconds.
In any given jury there are likely 1 or 2 holdouts for both sides. Reaching unanimous verdicts requires a steady wearing down from both sides and judges have been known to throw stonewallers out if they can't articulate their opinion(illegally but I dare you to try and fight that).
Knowing how polarized the country is, there is definitely at least 1 lefty in there who will pitch and throw a fit until people agree with them, or they get bored. Lefties know how many good boy points they can get if they are the impetus that got Kyle put away.
The fact that they haven't returned with a not guilty verdict by now is disconcerting.
