In article <DGwvI5.Jxt@lcpd2.SanDiegoCA.ATTGIS.COM>, rodgers@triton.SanDiegoCA.ATTGIS.COM (Rodger Silvers) says:

I assume that this reform would allow 10-2 vote to aquit as well.  In
any case, this won't help the problem with our court system, it will only
make jury verdicts even more mercurial than they already are.

To persecute a person who has been found not guilty by a jury of his
peers, whether you agree with the verdict or not, is irresponsible and 
un-American.  Every year, hundreds of guilty people are aquited, and
hundreds of innocent people are convicted.  It seems to me, that the jury
system needs to be reformed.  We must be cautious, however, not to replace
our current legal system with a sytem that is much, much worse.
