You must be unanimous to find a man guilty. "Oh gee, we only have 7, that means not guilty then" was probably the thought.
We know they must be unanimous both ways but it is easy to see the foul up, because they know for certain at 7 he isn't "guilty" either. ie hung jury is essentially "not guilty" to a layman in the broad sense. At least in the moment.
There is no way they put this much thought into it. You are given written instructions on how a verdict is decided as well as how to ask for evidence if you want to review it. There are 12 incompetent people deciding someones life. Unbelievable. Unless they all cannot read, which is an option being from MS.

This doesn't require that much thought. Its just requires getting ahead of yourself.
People mess up legal principles all the time. Allllllll the time. I could make a career out of fixing contract language you learn 1L year.

I don't know how you reach the conclusion that all 12 are incompetent. Some undoubtedly are incompetent, but to say all 12 are is shooting from the hip.
