I did Jury Duty for a murder trial about 10 years ago. They had no body but even the defense agreed the guy was dead. It was a massive case in Perth, Western Australia, as it was a mystery. They kept the fact the defendant was a Victorian hitman out the papers though, otherwise I'm pretty certain he would have been convicted.
There were a couple of guns possibly used a small rifle or a pistol big enough to give a tank commander pause. In the jury room the other jurors were using me as an expert witness cause I was in the Army Reserves at the time.
8 days of evidence and it took us about 3 hours to agree that there was too much doubt to convict.
If I had the same evidence now I'd probably be pushing for guilty.
