The “you lied to us” is now a catch-all charge that is thrown in so that the jury can “agree” on, when nothing else can stick.
It also perpetuates the power of the state over citizenry.

Precisely. The lesson is never talk to them. Sad but true.
Though in this case, you have to wonder what the vote was on the other 23. If it was 11-1 or 10-2, you have to wonder if someone “got” to a jury member or two. If the split was more even, no way they should re-try.
