Other people are willing to convict on much less.
Your case, with CIs and surveillance, sounds pretty clear cut, though.

The prosecutor was very young and seemed far less experienced than the defense attorney, which definitely helped the defendant’s case. He ended up getting a plea deal and got off with time served shortly after we started deliberations. There was video and audio evidence showing him printing the money and explaining in detail how the printing process worked and what he was going to do with the money, along the with the phony money and other physical evidence that was seized. It should have been a clear cut case, but half of the jurors still wanted to let him off.
