How Does Juror Present Her Evidence

The first impression that a juror would perceive of Beth, is that she looks professional. This is due to clothes she is wearing. Another positive of the way Beth presents her evidence is the fact that she makes it clear that she does not know the answer to some questions, such as when she is asked about other forms of synthesis and does not make it up. This is because it shows she knows her limitations, which prevents her from giving false information to the jury. However, this could also be perceived as that she does not have up to date knowledge about the subject of the case which would make her a less credible witness. Another reason why she could be discredited is the fact that she is not fully prepared. This is shown as she spent a lot of time looking through her statement trying to find certain answers and there were long pauses between answers leading to one of the barristers tells her the answer to one of her questions.
Also when presenting her evidence, Beth does not speak clearly and confidently.
This could show that she was nervous and may also show that she is unsure about the case. Beth made it difficult for the members of the jury to hear and understand what she said, due to the fact that she speaks quietly. As well as the way she uses her voice when presenting, something else she does which may make it difficult for the jury to understand her is when she used the term reflux. This is a complex scientific term that certain members of the jury, if not all, may not know the meaning of. Due to this, jurors may miss out on vital evidence in this case as they are unclear of the meaning and therefore how significant it is to the
case.
