The American system was designed with the idea that its better to let 1000 of guilty go free than execute 1 who is innocent.

Doesn't speak to this situation. Juries like this are just as likely to convict the innocent as acquit the guilty.

And this woman seems like she has seen how WRONG her decision was, and must have had it pointed out to her...hence the change of heart.
