There was only ten of them.
And they had to reach a unanimous verdict.
Because two jurors pulled out and there were no alternates.
Which, in case you need reminding again, Jack Edmund had allowed that.
He could have contested that very easily and he didn't.
And those ten people found Leo Schofield guilty.
Like how the prosecution's theory that Leo killed Michelle in the trailer made no sense because they found no blood, not on the carpet, no cast off, nothing.
Which if you stabbed somebody 26 times and left no cast off, okay.
All the blood was found by the canal where Michelle's body was found.
And crucially, Edmund didn't make enough of a big deal about how there was only one hour on the night Michelle vanished where Leo was unaccounted for.
Then there was the rest of the physical evidence that was barely touched upon.
On Michelle's body, the police found six hairs that didn't belong to her.
And they were never examined.
And even more frustratingly, the defence didn't push for them to be tested either.
Jack Edmund never even brought the hairs up.
And that could have created a reasonable doubt for at least one juror.
Which is all he would have needed.
