The reason for these reactions is due to the fact that jurors are all influenced by different decision-making abilities. These abilities can be shaped by different emotional reactions to case information, the intelligence of jurors, their ability to retain certain information, and, of course, their personal and cultural views. As a result, jurors establish different perceptions and opinions even though all jurors were given the same information. The process of applying a juror's perception of certain views on life and how those views apply to the facts and information presented to them in the case are the primary forces behind each juror's individual conclusions on the case. It seems that jurors rarely change their opinions about how they feel about a given case, but they can change their minds about how things should have been presented to them. This can be observed in the participation and comments of the jurors in this particular case. All jurors in this particular case participated and took an active role, but J1, J4, J7, J8, J12 were the most vocal. J1, J4, J7, and J8 had very strong personalities and naturally seemed to want to be active in deliberations. J2 also seemed to have a strong personality, but soon made up his mind about the situation. J1 and J7, as will be discussed later, appear to be the most similar and often support and defend each other throughout the jury's deliberation. J12 was active simply because it had to do so in self-defense. J12 was the only juror who disagreed with the majority's conclusions about Ducic and had to constantly defend himself and provide rebuttals with little support from the other jurors. However, it appears that jurors with strong opinions about the case participate more in the… center of the card… a loving family member. J12 mentions a few times that Ducic seems to act like a little boy, or like someone capable of loving his mother. This creates conflict with some of the other jurors who see Ducic as more of a soulless killer rather than a loving son. By classifying Ducic as a child who simply desires his mother's love, it shows that J12 is attempting to connect the nature and characteristics of children to those of Ducic. Children do not always think of everything and run into problems due to their inattention and lack of competence. J12's classification of Ducic as a teenager is an attempt to support his decision on a punishment that does not involve death.
