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.
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。
