Maybe, assuming that the better true conviction rate is a more just outcome. The goal here is justice. There are crimes where a conviction could be worse than the crime. I.e. abused child accused of murdering abuser. Giving any single juror essentially the power to veto a conviction is a very good thing for justice and sets a very high standard for police & prosecution.
