A dishonest defense attorney bribed a man on the jury to hold out for a charge of manslaughter, instead of murder, which the state was attempting to get.
The jury was out for several days before they returned with the manslaughter verdict.
When the lawyer paid the corrupt juror, he asked him if he had a very difficult time convincing the other jurors to see things his way.
"I sure did," the juror replied, "the other eleven wanted to acquit."

She wasn't selected for the jury.
