The jury is trying to punt by referencing the difference of the original video the prosecution hid and produced a lesser quality film of to the defense. They want a directed judgment from the judge.
The judge wants the jury to decide, and the jury wants the judge to decide. Neither side wants to be a target. It may well end up being a nightmare, but not in the way we would hope.
Neither the judge nor the jury wants the acquittal to be attributed to them.
