The example that comes to mind for me, an Australian, is the Camden 28. They were a group of anti Vietnam war protestors who were acquitted after the jury gave not-guilty verdicts despite clear evidence against them.

Another example is William Lynch who beat a Jesuit priest who sexually assaulted him as a child and was found not guilty by the jury despite admitting guilt
