Listening to the guidance the judge gave the jury before they retired I am fairly sure he was gunning for a Not Guilty verdict too.
Its all nice and rational to pick to pieces a situation like this from the comfort of your laptop at 7pm.
But get woken at 1am by someone smashing you over the head with a wine bottle, and threatening to kill you, and rationality can go out the window and survival should hopefully kick in.
