It only takes a couple of people to hang a jury. If the jury doesn't end up hung, it's usually because the other people in the jury gave up because they want to finish the trial and go home.

My god there was video of the offense! Care to bet that all 12 people on the jury thought he was innocent? I'm betting that this was classic jury nullification.

Mind you, I have some great and decent friends in the African-American community. There are tons of hard working, kind and decent African-Americans out there. There is however another group who are angry, nasty and dishonest. These people are no better than the nasty racists from the south who were lynching blacks and getting off scott free in the 40's, 50's and 60's.
