Though I have been called to serve Jury Duty x4 in my life, I have never done so, as the issues were all resolved before a trial. I have a possibly dumb question. Is there someone in with the sequestered jury members helping to negotiate and make sense of the task before them? I cannot imagine they are all 12 just thrown together to sort it all out amongst themselves. A foreman/mediator, of sorts? How does that work?
A jury of one's peers. They gather for a moment in time, judge the law and return to their fields. It's the greatest constitutional right of all times the foundation of the freedom of the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot.
