I also think George came within a whisker of falling prey to an emotional jury, but they did DO THE RIGHT THING.

But there’s no real evidence of that.
I prefer to think that ONE srong (probably Christian) woman who can think and who knows right from wrong on that jury would NEVER be swayed in a case where there’s zero evidence — and would, in fact, turn the others eventually through her persistence.
Hung jury would have been the worst that could happen.
YMMV
“whisker” indeed!
