Would you clarify? I read the first paragraph as there was one guilty verdict, yet the second paragraph implies there was only one not guilty verdict. Did you perhaps intend two convicted, or alternatively, in the second paragraph, one of the cases that were not guilty?

As I read it, he means that one not guilty was correct. However the other he believes was guilty, but someone messed up the evidence. With the evidence messed up he was forced to vote not guilty on a guilty person.

Sorry I screwed up the first paragraph and missed the edit window.
The hardest case was the one that was “not guilty”. The defendant was almost certainly guilty of manslaughter. But for reasons that don’t matter, aspects (time) of key evidence could not be evaluated, which created doubt.
It was a moving experience.
