Without that if I were a juror I would make it a hung jury. No way could I say he wasn't guilty. I would essentially vote for a do-over so the prosecution could back fill the holes in the time of death.

So you would violate your oath as a juror simply to allow the prosecutor another chance rather than obey it and find him not guilty based on the standard that the prosecutor must prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt? Would you like your life put into an indefinite limbo because a juror refused to admit the prosecutor failed to meet his burden?

Yep.
