It would also be interesting to consider smaller groups for discussion. Break the jury into 2 groups of 6, or 3 groups of 4 people.

I wonder whether you could get the benefits of weighing the evidence collectively but reduce the influence that 1 or 2 dominant jurors might have.

If 2 or 3 independent groups reached the same conclusion, does that increase the chances of them being correct?
