Depends on the crime and the consequences
We all voted to let a guy off on a shoplifting charge because the cameras didn't show his face clearly, just the color shirt and his height and skin color. There was other evidence that all pointed to him
Had it been a murder or rape case I guarantee you we all would have voted to prosecute.

That makes no goddam sense.
Hearing most juror's thought process is one of the most terrifying things ever. I've sat in a mock trial as a juror once and I couldn't believe how people "reasoned."

I wish I could get a chance to do that once. They never let me on a jury after I get summoned, probably because there is a lot of drug crime around me and I am clear I refuse to go along with a guilty verdict for a drug crime.
