The craziest one I ever heard was from a friend of mine who had served on a murder case where the jury was absolutely deadlocked. The judge had sent them back repeatedly to deliberate and finally the foreman gave up and was literally on his way to hit the buzzer to surrender when the bailiff walked in and told them that the defendant had pleaded guilty and they could go home. Dumb bastard caved just 5 minutes too quickly.

If I was voting guilty I would have slapped the not-guilty dumbasses upside the head.
