Question

How do you think jurors respond to “battles of the experts” when there are multiple expert witnesses, reaching different opinions on the basis of essentially the same information, and testifying for different sides?    How can/should jurors make sense of the conflicting information to help them resolve the case?

Answer 1

When a criminal trial has Jury or jurors the members in the jury plays very important role and it consist of 12 members of jury.The judge will not decide the verdict ,it will be the jurors who will announce the verdict .Before any trial jurors are briefed about the case by judge , so they can have a firm decision .As the trail starts the jurors listening to the arguments of the experts very carefully ,and they will be present for trial all the time when ever they are called. They will go through all the evidences which are presented in the trail and when it comes for verdict , the jurors will a have discussion which is called deliberations . After long deliberations the jurors come to pronounce the verdict is the accused guilty or not .And this is all done by listening to the facts ,arguments made by experts and going through evidences . And in deliberation all the jurors should be on one decision .And after hearing from experts one of the jury members pronounce the verdict . If the accused found guilty then he is convicted and if not then he is acquitted means set free.

Jurors make sure that they only rely on the facts and they also look that is the society is getting any lesson from the case or they will set an example in society ,taking all these things consideration the jurors come on their verdicts after listening to bunch of experts ,witnesses and opinions .

Jurors are the common people and they make sure that their decision is in the support of truth .
