19. It sounds like all of the jury agreed on the conviction
Otherwise it would have been a hung jury. A life sentence sounds pretty serious. Was it a murder trial? There are some very violent young men/women in our society who have no regard for human life whatsoever.

If given another trial it could end up being worse for the defendant, he could get more time beyond a life sentence = 180 years or something like that.
