Answer:

admit that she knows about the case and believes the person is guilty

Explanation:

The American Constitution has provisions for a defendant to be tried fairly and with ample defense in a legal process. For this, the jury can have no bias and should be exempt from the opinion of the case. Therefore, as an ethical citizen, Helen should speak the whole truth. The important thing should not be whether or not she should stay in the jury, but to ensure that the defendant is tried in accordance with constitutional determinations. In this case, the jury should not have an opinion formed before the trial. Helen must tell the truth and she would probably be moved to another case and replaced in that particular case.
