Despite he waxing and waning of Juror B29 of the George Zimmerman trial,there 
is experimental evidence
to shadow her predicament.We should look no further than the Milgram and the 
Solomon Asch experimental
designs.Milgram's study could be viewed as Conformity by obedience and Asch's 
as conformity by agreement.
It shoul be noted that in both of those paradigms,the real independent 
variables 
are the reasons  subjects  gave for the decision made.Juror B29,however,had 
reasons more in tune with the instructions than her conscience.
In a re-creation of a Milgram experiment,Rosenhahn (Chris Green favorite field 
researcher) was a moderator
and when subjects appeared hesitant to administer shock,he told those subjects 
that they had to continue
with the experiment.Perhaps juror B29 felt the same way.
