If the prosecution fails to put forth a convincing, evidentially supported case, that doesn't mean that I, as a juror, necessarily believe the defendant is innocent. It just means I haven't been presented with enough evidence to convince me he's guilty.
The jury is also not required to propose an alternative suspect. They assess the case presented until it either passes or fails, in which latter event the trial is over until the next defendant is brought in. It's not "if Tom didn't do it then it must have been Jerry"; both Tom and Jerry are judged separately.
