Women. The prosecutor's last remarks were 100% an appeal to emotion, in essence "fuck the facts, listen to your feelings! This dirty pedophile is trying to defile your children with weird foreign pornography!". The US has no restrictions on the gender ratio of the jury, and there have even been cases where all 12 jurors were female, so I can almost guarantee the jury in the case had more women than men and the prosecutor was directly appealing to them.

Justice in the courtroom is just one of the many sacrifices we made to the altar of women's rights.
