After watching MAM and also the BBC Life and Death Row series, it seems to me that a lot of jurors who initially planned to vote not guilty, have their mines changed through pressure from the other jurors.

Surely a jurors decision should be based on the facts they heard and the evidence presented to them, not on how well other jurors can manipulate people to get the verdict they want.

Obviously this happened in SA's case. In 1 of the episodes from the BBC series, a juror actually said the words " I caved, the other jurors said they wouldn't leave the room without a death penalty verdict, so I caved. Was it the right thing to do? Probably not."

How come someone be pressured into something like that, especially when it involves the death penalty!

So, would it be better for all involved if jurors deliberated on their own, to stop people trying to convince/manipulate others?
