jury decision-making
Jury decision-making involves a group of individuals who listen to evidence in a trial and work together to determine the verdict. Jurors evaluate testimonies, analyze facts, and consider the law as explained by the judge. They discuss their perspectives, aim for a consensus, and ultimately decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty based on the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt." Their decisions are influenced by personal beliefs, the dynamics of group discussion, and the weight of the evidence presented, all while striving to uphold the principles of justice and fairness.
