Jurors are skeptical of giving money to anyone. It seems like a handout to a stranger. And worse, jurors do not get to track where the money goes afterward.

Juror deliberations are complicated dynamic processes. The whole of the group is greater than the sum of its individual parts. Often people think that deliberations are a series of compromises – and in some ways, they are.

Attorneys are often worried about asking questions in voir dire that elicit responses that are harmful to your side of the case.
