>> its hard changing minds like that will be interesting to know how it was done
Not necessarily... to go into the jury room disbelieving he was defending himself shows a weak mind that didn’t pay attention and/or was incapable of reasoning.
A little firm but gentle help recalling facts and reasoning with them can be quite effective.
Then, if there’s one holdout remaining for ideological reasons who understands the logic but refuses to budge in spite of it... five against one peer pressure applied for an hour or three does the trick.
The law became VERY confusing.

I agree. I was jury chairman on a 12 person felony trial jury. Initially, the jury was evenly split. After the first go around of discussion and people explaining their reasoning, the group quickly shifted to about 9-3. Eventually, there was a single holdout and they didn’t last too long by themselves.
