Question

To help Jordan determine if his theory is correct, you’ve decided to attend the trial with him and take on the role of a juror. You are determined to maintain an open mind and not form an initial impression of the defendant’s guilt or innocence.
How would you keep an open mind and truly presume the defendant is innocent at the start of the trial?

Answer 1

Answer:

I've heard of someone that was doing jury duty for a man who stole 3 packs of toilet paper from a local Walmart and he tried putting himself in the person's shoes and thinking of the reasons he would have needed/ wanted that toilet paper. Maybe his family was in desperate need, you never know someone's intentions behind something. It shows that to keep an open mind during a jury, you have to look at the reasons why the person did what they did. For example, if someone stole a $50,000 car, that's a different story. Not only will they be charged for theft, but they stole something worth much, much more than 3 packs of toilet paper, which is about $30.
