Any interesting cases?

I did it last year and had a very bizarre case where a dispute over a stolen watch somehow turned into one person accusing the other of attempted murder.
The evidence they provided was a picture of some kitchen knives (all neatly sheathed in the kitchen) and 2 recordings of 999 calls, the first one being the DEFENDANT calling the police on the ACCUSER for stealing his watch.
The accuser claimed that after the phone call, the defendant tried to stab him with 2 knives and that he somehow managed to disarm him before calmly walking into the room next door and calling the police about the "attempted murder".
Both of them just sounded irritated with each other in the recordings, no sense of urgency or even anger.
English was the accusers second language and the defendant was slightly insane and spent most of the police interview rambling about fried chicken so it was a difficult case to follow at times.
That said it's pretty clear what happened.
There was a dispute over who owned the watch and both men just wanted to try and get the other in trouble.
The accuser just came up with a better crime.
Deliberation took less than an hour, unanimous NOT GUILTY verdict on the basis that a picture of kitchen knives doesn't really mean anything.

I was rejected by the prosecution because he thought I would vote not guilty for the openly gay defendant because I am only 5'4" and cannot grow facial hair.
