But the material costs of hung juries do not warrant losing the benefit to society of the unanimous verdict. とはどういう意味ですか?

質問を翻訳

There are 12 people in the jury. Suppose that after 6 months of presenting evidence and arguing in the courtroom, the jury cannot agree unanimously on a verdict. This is called a hung jury and, in a sense, it means that the state wasted a lot of money on the trial. But it's still better to risk the loss of money than to risk a wrong verdict by the jury. So the conclusion is that the requirement that the jury return a unanimous verdict is worthwhile.
