You mean on a partial jury? The answer is no.

I served on a jury years ago in Florida. This was a murder trial.I voted the defendant “not guilty” because in my opinion the Government did not prove its case. I was the only “not guilty,” so the case was retried with the result the defendant was found “not guilty” and released from custody after serving 18 months for a crime he didn’t commit.

Oh! And the real murderer was later captured, convicted and executed.
