When I served on a jury most of the people seemed to have good judgement. In fact, I'd say all of them did, and as has been suggested, I think they all took the job very seriously and were quite adult and polite during deliberations. To me it was fairly clear that there wasn't enough evidence to convict the defendants although I think they probably ended up being lucky that the star witness for the prosecution had a few roos loose in the top paddock. Her testimony was worthless and didn't help prove the men guilty at all. Too much reasonable doubt and that was what led to a not guilty verdict on all counts for them both. Something shifty went down along with a massive dose of idiocy during the events of the alledged crime.
