For what it's worth, in England today, you can convict with the agreement of 10 out of 12 jurors. In Scotland, you need 8 out of 15!

And in India (which has a British created judiciary), we have totally done away with the jury system as "the Law Commission of India termed the jury system a “failure” and recommended its abolition" (https://www.thehindu.com/features/magazine/Judged-by-twelve/...).
