I suspect many of the jurors who did not take notes (or at least sufficient notes) relied on the faulty memory,logic and argument of the other jurors. This is a dynamic studied in all studies involving sequestered juries.
For instance,
"Did the defense disprove XY & Z evidence?"
"Absolutely, don't you remember... they did this and this and this."
When if fact, the response is completely false but because of the inability of the questioner to remember, refer to notes, or failure to review the evidence, the false answer is accepted as fact.
I suspect that when we hear from some straight forward and honest jurors, this will be the case. I suspect there is more than 1 juror wishing they had deliberated this case entirely differently.
