A 10 - 2 verdict is not without a reasonable doubt.

You nailed it, I think. Reasonable doubt is indicated in a non-unanimous verdict.

What is "reasonable" nowadays with our infantile adult population?

I've seen ridiculous decisions from juries that no adult would condone. We simply have too many unreasonable people nowadays, and jury verdicts can be a crap shoot.

Unless death is a mandatory punishment, two-thirds is good enough in a court-martial.

Why a new trial. There was a trial, there was a verdict, the jury was 10-2, law was wrong, throw out sentence and conviction...

Very simply put, and entirely correct.
