I was on a case a few years ago which was an assault case, a single drunken punch and the guys got hauled through court. In the end we ended up with an evenly split jury (might have been 5-7 either way) and they had to get a retrial.
Didn't help that the prosecutor was a total newbie. She was incoherent, unconvincing and I'm sure she missed so much stuff.
It was still an interesting experience and I don't regret doing it.
