It has been proven that most of the jurors, who were black, voted against conviction strictly because OJ was black and famous. They didn't want another black man in prison. This was just after the race riots in the L.A. area.
Point being, as has been mentioned many times throughout this thread, that people will vote one way or the other based on skin color alone, white or black. So in requiring a unanimous decision on ALL felony cases, I would wager we would see an increase in violent felons in the community.

To be honest, you're probably right. My issue is where do we draw the line. Is 7-5 ok because it's a majority? And a 10-2 hung jury in favor of conviction in other states doesn't prevent re-trying the Defendant.

Which is exactly why the white folks created this 10/12 scheme. To completely silence any influence of blacks on a jury. That was the purpose, and you say that is just fine.
