The only time all jurors have to agree is a murder case

Whether majority verdicts are acceptable differs between jurisdictions, in terms of the charges to which a majority verdict could apply (e.g. not for capital crimes) or the composition of the majority (e.g. 11:1, 10:2, etc.).

It's easy to forget that trial-by-jury is not even the norm in global terms.
