Yes, the woman NG was much more logical than his. It is very hard to predict how different people react to same evidence.

The burden of proof in a civil case requires only that the Plaintiff satisfy the court or jury by the greater weight of the evidence that the Plaintiff's claims are valid. This means that the Plaintiff must prove that the facts are more likely than not to exist in the Plaintiff's favor. Where there is a default, that burden is deemed in law to have been met.
Thanks for posting. Have not read it all but the above portion of the instructions would really give me pause in my deliberations. If JY 'knows" he did not do anything wrong, he had his alibi(s) (e.g., cigar, out of town...) etc, then why not say anything, at ALL. Everyone already know about the affairs by that time- so that cant be it (hiding infidelity). It is/was his right not to talk but it does make me go hummmmmmm-- why, when he had lost his "family, friends, job.." would he purposely give up another one? JMO

What did the woman and the man say? What were their reasonings?
Because his family's luggage was in there too because they were all in Brevard so they all came back with Jason (who was in Brevard as well)
Jason stopped in Brevard where his family lives and this is where he found out Michelle was dead. They all rode back in his car to Raleigh.

Because his family was riding back with him from Brevard to Raleigh (actually Fuquay-Varina MF home)
Because his mother, sister and brother-in-law took Jason, in Jason's vehicle, back to Raleigh on November 3, 2006.
As a juror, my personal opinion based on all the evidence and testimony would be that JY was in fact at least involved with or orchestrated the actual murder (beyond a reasonable doubt), but not the actual murderer beyond a reasonable doubt -and- that he was at the crime scene at some point (beyond a reasonable doubt) but not not during the murder beyond a reasonable doubt.
Based on the jury instructions, I would have to vote NG. :sick:

I agree it is hard but it is doable. Not all women jurors will have the same views, imo. Some will be sticklers that the evidence has to prove the case. The male jurors may or may not have their own personal feelings and sympathy for the victim too but if they start discussing things that shows their preconcieved biases then other jurors will tell them they cannot assess the case based on their personal feelings.
As hard as it is they are not to consider sympathy for the victim or the defendant.
Hopefully they can find the links they need based in evidence alone to prove this case BARD.

FWIW, I've served on a long, capital murder trial (triple murder and rape) and I've also served for one year as a Grand Jury foreperson. I can say that the foreman of the jury does have a lot of influence on the outcome of the verdict. Face it, some people are leaders and some people are followers. Some jurors jump at the chance for someone to make up their mind for them, it kinda takes some of the burden off of them in deciding what will happen to someone's life. I will admit that I have "helped" other jurors to understand the evidence and the meaning of "reasonable doubt".

He/she is saying they could get him for perjury, if he's found NG, and later confesses.
