Istr remember some other cases like that lately: a lesser charge would be more suitable, but the judge will not allow the jury to consider the lesser charge, so they have to find 'not guilty'. This suggests that the 'not guilty' verdict was what the judge wanted.
What would happen to a juror who refused to go along? Who said, "I'm not going along with this, I dissent. Make it a mistrial."
