The whole jury system is absurd. A bunch of drunkards who know the law as well as they know the outer galaxies and a system that mandates inclusion of even the most incompetents of society is an unjust system.
The jurors just want to get home and away from their $40/day mandatory gig. And if issuing a verdict is getting in their way and causing them to miss their favorite TV sitcom, they’ll just render the quickest verdict rather than appropriately deliberate.
