There's only two reasons someone would be "excited to be on the jury".
They've already decided he is guilty, and are going to hold out to vote to convict no matter what.
They've already decided he is innocent, and are going to hold out to vote not guilty no matter what.
or they're planning to cash in with fame after the trial is over, presumably with a guilty vote
The part that sucks for Chauvin is that, if it's a mistrial due to hung jury, the prosecution just gets to try again. If the prosecutor really wants to put the screws to a defendant, they can keep having retrial after retrial.
So Chauvin needs one person willing to hold out to avoid going to jail. But he needs a unanimous vote to win. If it's 11-1 or 10-2 (or 1-11 or 2-10), the prosecution can just try again with a new jury.
