The jury I was on in MN had to acquit also due to utter lack of evidence. It was a case of a father allegedly sexually abusing his junior high age daughter.

My gut feeling says that we did the right thing. I don't think he was actually guilty. A nasty divorce was involved. The fact that there's no way of ever knowing for certain, however, makes me ill.

We all went out and drank heavily afterward. I hope I'm never on another jury again.
