The two, Marilou and Tara, said almost inaudibly that Diane would be with them tomorrow. These women are alienated from the verdict pronounced by their foreman, disappointed and troubled still by it. Don't you think that what may have been the atmosphere in the jury room was distilled by Zervakos? Once elected, he may have made it clear that dispute and argument were off bounds. That each & every juror was to be respected and his or her opinions not to be assailed. I suspect (strongly) that he used the force of his personality to convey those were to be the rules. All of that is polite and civil but it also suppresses the opportunity for achieving consensus fully explored. It is not dynamic, it is static. No thoughts, no opinions, no assessments, no analysis, change, not one fleck. What happened to true deliberation where jurors consult with one another and weigh alternatives? NO! You may express your opinion but to defend it goes too far as does any objective criticism, however kindly stated, of another juror's opinion. Such limits & "discipline" imposed by the foreman explain the closed and set expressions of the jury as they exited each day. Thinking about what went on in the jury room, I've learned something I won't forget. If you put a cloak of order and civility on a process and do it in a very meaning way, you go a long way toward controlling the outcome. It is not a pleasant prospect to contemplate. The impression and the lesson are indelible.
