What if I don't agree with the verdict other jurors want?
Sometimes when you're serving as a juror in a case, everybody else on the jury may decide that that person is guilty, or that person is innocent, and you may disagree. And they may say to you, "Hey, come on, let's get the verdict rendered here so we can all get home in time for dinner." Or, "It's Monday night football, are you out of your mind? I want to get out of here! What's wrong with you, are you crazy?" If you are convinced, if you have a conviction, that's where the word convict comes from, if you have a conviction, if your conscience and your best thinking ability does not allow you to render the same verdict that they are rendering, do not abandon your own conviction, do not abandon your own conscience, stick to your guns. A person's life may be at stake.
