Don’t second guess yourself, you did exactly what you were supposed to do if prosecution failed to satisfy the burden. Think recent Manafort trial with jury hung on majority of counts & recent dumping of some perp’s headless body on judge’s doorstep. I may one day in life serve on a jury ... but likely not and so far not yet (they might find me opinionated lol)

Dude, I thought I was a sure punt between long haired geologist and NRA member and I got planted on one for a month. 2 defendants, 5 counts of attempted murder with great bodily injury and gang, handgun and street terrorism enhancements. One guy got 25-life, the other got off (unclear on the ID).

Aside from being a graduate level course in the anthropology of a major local street gang, it was also interesting that the defense retained the “Twinkie defense” guy as an “expert witness”, whom we unanimously considered to be full of shit.
