Most jurors will be more inclined to reach a verdict favorable to one side if that side's case is based primarily on eyewitness testimony rather than on physical evidence backed by expert scientific testimony. Surprisingly, studies involving jurors in mock trials have found that this tendency survives even for those jurors who understand that eyewitness testimony is generally less reliable than is physical evidence backed by expert testimony.
Which of the following, if true, would most help to explain the surprising phenomenon described above?
Jurors in mock trials usually spend less time deliberating and worrying about reaching the right verdict than do jurors in actual trials.
Because expert testimony regarding physical evidence presented at trial is almost invariably given by witnesses testifying for one side or the other, many jurors regard such witnesses as biased.
The credibility that a particular juror will assign to a particular eyewitness will be profoundly influenced by personal characteristics of the eyewitness including age.
Even jurors who understand that eyewitnesses tend to be less reliable than physical evidence incorrectly believe they are better than the average juror at telling when an eyewitness’s testimony is reliable.
The more complex the physical evidence presented at trial is, the less it will influence the jurors in reaching their verdict.
老师：D我理解了，但是B 为什么不能解释法官在证据上的偏好呢？他说到了 physical evidence 有偏见的地方，那能不能解释法官更倾向于 eyewitness testimony，即使它的可信赖程度不及physical evidence ？
选项B只能解释为什么物证是不好的。但请注意要解释的句子中的定语：
understand that eyewitness testimony is generally less reliable than is physical evidence
也就是说，原文中已经告诉了我们，目击证据就是不如物证可靠，要我们解释的是，为什么即便是不可靠，陪审团还是要看。
这个选项只说了物证不好，和我们要解释的部分没有关系。
明白了，谢谢老师

d我也可以理解，但是还是纠结e 选项。e选项不可以从另一面说明为什么jurors favor eyewitness 吗？有点像反面说明那样。（转自毕出21套打卡社群）
阅读逻辑选项时，一定要准确获取它的意思。
选项E的字面意思是：“在实验中越复杂的物证，就会越少的在陪审团的裁决上产生影响”。这个选项只是在比较复杂的物证和简单的物证，也就是物证范围内的比较，并不能表明物证和目击证词的孰优孰劣。因此，也就更不能解释为什么陪审团明知目击证据不可信还选择目击证据了。

我的理解是，不管是不是mock trial，jurors都有更相信人证的倾向（this tendency survives，没说在mock trial里边发生的概率更高，只说一样存在），那就跟证据本身的特点和是不是在mock trial里没有关系了，只跟”人“有关。D选项的意思是，jurors虽然懂这个道理，但是就是这么自信，觉得自己的判断是对的。
虽然我现在仔细琢磨能理解，但是如果在考试的时候遇到类似的题目，估计还是会答不对。
