"The law tied our hands, and for that, in a way, I'm grateful because the decision was not mine to make. It was only my job to match the facts to the law and what I felt and what I wanted played no part in this,'' the juror said."

Wow. What a great example of a responsible juror. He/she was "grateful" not to make a decision.

Aren't jurors usually asked if they will be able to come to a decision (convict or acquit) before they are seated?

If so, didn't this juror just admit that he/she was unable to perform that duty? Grounds for a retrial? I doubt it, injustice rules.
