My first service was on a murder trial, and a couple of people reconstructed the scene like they were on TV, making all kinds of shit up. We were deadlocked 6 and 6, so it was declared a mistrial. I can understand not believing some evidence, but living in a fantasy does not a good juror make.
I bet if the jury had been all accountants and tax lawyers it would have been a conviction sweep.
