No. Because you are bound under oath to find the person not guilty if the Prosecution has not established guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Neutrality would mean that you are unsure of guilt, therefore the burden of proof is not met, and you must find the defendent not guilty. In civil cases its a little different as far as burden of proof goes, but you still must find for the plaintiff or the defendent.

The jury has to come to a unanimous decision on the guilt or innocense of the defendant. A neutral vote would not allow for a unanimous decision... so no.

There is no neutral vote on the jury duty. It is either you vote guilty or not guilty.
