I found this article interesting because it kind of shows what goes through a juror's head when trying to figure out if a person is guilty or innocent. This juror was involved in the Mark Becker case. Mark Becker was accused of murdering Ed Thomas of Parkersburg. The juror talked about how the jury debated over five days whether or not Becker was not sane at the time of the murder. He said how everyone had their opinions on the case and that eventually the evidence showed no proof that Becker was insane. Becker was then charged with first degree murder.
