Think about what you are saying. Let’s say there are 12 charges. Each juror thinks that one and only one of the twelve charges is valid against the defendant. But each juror chooses a different charge. So, even though each of the charges fails on a 11 to 1 vote, according to you, the defendant is guilty of derivative crime.

Absolutely incorrect. For every charge, each juror must unanimously agree on all of the elements of the crime. Trump is facing 34 charges, each one of those will be decided on its own. You can’t pull a vote from each charge together.
