Unless you had knowledge of the case beforehand, which is improbable, the only reason the jury’knew’ the defendant was guilty was based on the evidence. You and your jury apparently looked for a reason to acquit, therefore, for reasons beyond the evidence, the law and the instructions the judge gave you. You “Knew” the defendant was guilty because the case was proved beyond a reasonable doubt. You chose to ignore what you knew for other reasons

I didn't choose to do anything because I wasn't on the jury. And that's why I, unlike you, don't jump to conclusions about what they knew or did not know.

Probable cause? Or do you mean reasonable doubt? Curious to what the defense attributed the gap in the tape.

You are correct. I misswrote. Reasonable doubt.
