Don't all verdicts have to be unanimous and I said more than 1 cult45 members. Had there only been 1 the rest may have worn him/her down. Regardless, I am not happy with the results.

... that over-zealous FBI undercovers may have led them down a path, created a plan, provided explosives, etc.

Reasonable doubt, that's all they need.

The prosecutors need to interview the jurors, find out what was on their minds. I'd bet there was a majority of level heads on the jury.
