That must have been awful. I would have found it almost impossible to tell the court we'd reached a guilty verdict when I personally didn't feel it was the right verdict. Couldn't you have done a Jimmy Stewart and convinced the rest of them?
I spent hours and hours trying to convince them that there was more than reasonable doubt about her guilt.

Frighteningly the other jurors that she was 'posh', and that literally prejudiced them as to her motive, hence their verdict.
