the Jury system in Japan vol.2

Catherina said, "if we are given a chance to do so(be a jury), I think we will be able to come up with our own opinion and be a good jury. " I think it's going to be a chance to think independentaly,however, in the jury system in Japan is different from the other countries like U.S. I I think you guys have an idea of Jury in U.S. but about the juries in Japan they have to refer a matter with judges who are professional. Isn't is so hard to think independently? Japanese are shy people who can't speak up with the matters which they are not clearly sure. Japanese are more like 'better half 'people. They don't seek the truth, they seek a point of compromise.
