Document Summary

Able to understand proceedings (this is not as simple as it appears) Jurors are not always able to understand legal terminology. E. g. the juror who had the baseball tickets in 12 angry men is someone you dont want on the jury. Do not want someone who already has their mind made up before looking at the evidence/data. Not uncommon today, but not as popular. You know their kind, they can"t be trusted . Tendency to put the pressure on making sure community norms are followed. Feeling like you have to take care of the in-group. Specific judgments and biases about the case itself. I know what it is like to have people come on your property unannounced . (in relation to the saskatchewan shooting case) Have a personal interest in the outcome. 12 angry men: the angry father had a personal interest in the outcome due to what his own kid has done.
