Sometimes lone jurors are completely irrational and want to be the center of attention and cajoling, demanding special attention despite the risk of tanking a high-profile trial! Ask me how I know.

Yup.
I feel for those jurors. Many years ago, I was a juror for a first degree murder trial where we were 11-1 in favor of not guilty. The holdout just refused to budge, to the point they stopped deliberating altogether. Awful experience. Ultimately, they let the defendant go after several mistrials.
