I was under the assumption that you never attempt to second guess a jury. Their behavior, to me, was simply amazing.

They mocked the trial gods and were punished. Arrogant and stupid are two good adjectives. I've sweated out a bunch of juries and you never, never anger the trial gods by even whispering that the jury might possibly find for you.
Longest I've ever had a jury out was three days. Freaking torture (we won) but I never ever said we would win. You can briefly consider the possiblility that you might win, but give voice to thought and your screwed.
