I was part of sending someone to jail that was not guilty because these Villagers (mostly) wanted to go home. I'm still traumatized from this experience. get out of it if you can!

So pointing the finger at other jurors who wanted to go home instead of looking in the mirror at yourself , maybe they did want to go home and actually thought the person was guilty , while you were sure he wasn’t and just gave in . Well your right about one thing I to would be traumatized if I gave in to other jurors and sent someone to prison because I felt uncomfortable
