But it also helps protect us from a majority jury view that may be biased by prejudice. If I am on trial for my life, I want that protection.

True but that may be balanced by you also wanting protection from criminals. Would you want someone who threatened your family to be released when there's no real doubt but one of the jury is an outliner.
