Kek, reminds me of this meme.
If it were a real case, the kid would almost certainly be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. However, since it is a 1950s movies, he has to be not guilty because films back pretty much never let criminals walk.
Also if it were still an automatic death sentence for returning a "guilty" verdict, you would have a lot more "not guilty" verdicts or hung juries for guilty defendants.
