Jury Service

[TWR]

Could you alter you views by some that are stronger?

[rockyracoon]

No.

[royfromaus]

You mean be bullied when on jury service?


No.

[grasscarp]

Some go with the flow and some go against the evidence for quite random reasons in my experience

[Slapshot]

Never been called but I'd hope I'd have the courage of my own convictions to come to a decision

[murraymints]

it's horrid being on a jury..I have been on a few in high court and sheriff...gruesome murder trial that gave me nightmares for ages was the worst !

[tonyav]

Been on jury service, was on two cases, my opinion was the same has the other eleven so no one tried to alter anybodys view.

If someone else has a different angle on a piece of evidence, you are bound to consider it. You may not have realised how important it was until another juror points it out. That is not to say that you let someone else make up you mind for you - you just have to weigh up every piece of evidence carefully - for and against.
Read or watch "Twelve Angry men"

if it drags on for a while it can be tempting just to go with the flow to get it over and done with !

[China Doll]

Depends how good their argument is.
