Lots of people on juries are stupid and cowardly and will not return a guilty verdict unless they have 100% proof that someone is guilty. Isn't this the way it's supposed to be?

More or less. To me "beyond a reasonable doubt" does not equate to "100% proof" but it is a very high bar. And well it should be.
With that said, I have not been following this particular case very closely and I am not in a position to second-guess the jury. So I won't.

No. The threshold is 'beyond a reasonable doubt', NOT beyond any doubt. This muslim female was an accessory to the murder of almost 50 U.S. Citizens.
