One of the nice quirks of USA justice system is that you don't have to be guilty of a crime to go to prison, just that the prosecution has to convince 12 people beyond reasonable doubt that you are guilty.

The sixth is taken seriously to the point that incompetent lawyer could be a valid reason for granting a retrial.
