If the evidence as presented to the jury and
in public was only strong enough to convict 7 of them, then coming to the same conclusion is not that different from having a jury of 1000 people coming to that same conclusion. It's when a jury decision defies all the evidence that there should be suspicion.
One of those acquitted was only charged with conspiracy, which tends to be difficult to prove.
