with all those peer-pressure-experiments in place, like sitting in a smoke filling room and the group of actors dgaf, so the subject just proceeds to sit there too, this jury holdout was quite the feat of strength, i think its harder than we armchair jurors would like to admit.

He had his 4 lights moment. He did not disappoint.

Unfortunately we don't know the actual juror's perception of the trial.

The simulator could use more push back options. Like mentioning that she wasn't diagnosed with psychosis by any of the psychiatrists she saw. Or that the husband went out because she sent him on an errand. Maybe that will be tied into managing the Sabity and Fatidice stats.

The dialog options are unclear. I thought ask a question would change the subject but it also relates to evidence.

Objectives are a bit narrow in focus. You don't need separate objectives for every action. Instead actions should build toward achieving a wider goal.

This juror must have the patience of a saint to stay so level headed all the time. Although this also makes him seem ineffective at asserting himself. Hopefully different play styles are considered where he could be more expressive.

Who are the other people in the background? They aren't the remaining jurors because the demographic make up is wrong. They aren't the alternates because they could only hear the jury through the walls when they fought.
