Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By selecting jurors who are also university scholars, Laura can increase her chances of being acquitted because they are more likely to understand her situation and be sympathetic to her. Having Laura appear in court well-dressed will also create a positive impression on the jury and make them more likely to believe her. Finally, selecting jurors who are against the death penalty will increase Laura's chances of being acquitted because they are less likely to be swayed by the prosecution's arguments.
