...the judge specifically told us that according to the (Maryland) law, circumstantial evidence is to be given just as much weight as non-circumstantial evidence.

Did the judge give any instructions in regards to the first count? Somebody mentioned that taking significant steps such as donning a mask and waiting in the weeds is sufficient. Did the judge, or either lawyer, address this?

Because I couldn't imagine reaching a verdict on that one without either a law degree, or having the law explained to us by the judge or prosecutor.
