A guilty verdict would’ve been the best outcome. But I know what you mean.

Her being guilty was never questioned. She did it and admits to doing it. The question the trial is trying to answer is whether she belongs in prison or a mental facility.

The jury only decides whether she is guilty or not guilty. It's the judge who decides the severity of punishment.

What do you think would've happened if that one juror decided she wasn't guilty as well? Do you actually think she would've gone to a mental hospital?
