An attorney has a copy of a videotape that shows her client being beaten very violently by two men. Her client is suing these men. The jury has already seen this video several times during the trial, and the attorney is considering showing it many more times. However, an expert social psychologist should warn the attorney that replaying the videotaped beating many more times may reduce the likelihood of winning a large amount of money because the jurors might
A) become desensitized to the beatings and thus grant less significance to the video in their final judgment.
B) engage in higher-order cognitive processing and thus feel less sympathy for the client.
C) become cultivated by the beatings and thus try to avoid thinking about them when making their final judgment.
D) be vulnerable to the weapons effect and thus be less likely to award a high settlement.
