Yep. I know of one case very recently where the jury made a very, very quick decision on what should have been a 'slam dunk' case and someone walked away from a murder charge.
Their decision is final even if it flies in the face of common sense and the evidence presented. The only comeback is of new evidence comes to light later on.
