I imagine it's a lot less that a SCOTUS justice.

The jury doesn't have to find TFG not guilty. The same result can be accomplished if only one juror disagrees with the other 11 who find him guilty. It's a hung jury. The prosecutor can do a second trial, but that means motions and appeals and jury selection. Delay - delay - delay.
