Tell,
Please stop putting words in my mouth and twisting the things I write. There is clearly a disconnect going on and I don't appreciate it.
And yes, that is correct: Darlie was found guilty by a jury of 12 people. They're not *my* jury, they were selected by both sides (defense & prosecution), questioned during voir dire, empaneled, and were given the responsibility to decide this case. And they did decide. I don't know what all factored into their decision (and I suspect neither do you). Juries never are obligated to talk about how they came to a decision, why they came to a decision or what their deliberations were like. That's not an opinion, that's the rule of the court. They may talk, if they choose, but they do not have to (ever). As long as they follow the rules they were given their verdict stands until or unless a higher court reviews the case and finds reversible error. And, as we know, no higher court has overturned the conviction.
If you are unhappy with their verdict, or don't understand the US legal system, or are just trying to stir up something, you'll have to clarify because it's not clear what your issue is or what you want.
