Some things in life happen and you’ll never be sure why it went the way it did - like the appointment of a new Pope or inappropriate substitutions on your Deliveroo order.
Add to that list the verdict of a jury in a criminal trial. Up and down the country each week, judges, defendants, lawyers, and reporters sit and wait for juries to reach their verdicts. We know the arguments and evidence they were presented with, but we can’t peer inside their brains, and we’re certainly not allowed to peep into the deliberation room. When the decision is finally delivered, you never get so much as a word of explanation.
