Each of the twelve feels differently about being a juror - some who are happy to serve, some who don't want to be there - about his or her underlying motivations in being among this specific jury, and admittedly about having a preconceived belief into Craig's guilt or innocence in this high profile case. Who may have the most open mind is Terry Scott, as she is separated from her husband who lives in Cleveland, and thus can understand the different feelings of someone in an unhappy marriage. The interaction between the twelve becomes even more intimate in almost every respect when the jury is ordered sequestered for the duration of the trial.
