They were not strong enough to stand up for the principles. to protect the courage of their convictions. That's what I should have said.

You said -- "Because they were told that the judge would not accept a hung jury. They were not strong enough to stand up for the principles."

And if I was on that jury, I would "hang that jury up until Kingdom come..." I'll guarantee you that. I'm probably the kind of juror that most lawyers will want "off" the jury -- depending on what they want to accomplish. I wouldn't listen to judges or lawyers.
