4:01Now PlayingResearchers looked into the way slow-motion video can impact the way jurors decide on a case. It may lead to an increase in unfavorable rulings for defendants. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Participants were shown surveillance footage of either an attempted robbery in which the assailant shot the store worker, or an NFL player performing a banned tackle. Participants, who were recruited online using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing program, were shown the videos both at regular speed and in slow motion.
In the first study, participants acted as jurors and were randomly assigned to watch footage of the attempted robbery and shooting either at regular speed, or in slow motion. They were then asked to assess whether the assailant shot with the intention to kill, how far it was premeditated, and how much time it seemed he had to assess the situation before firing his weapon.
Watching the slow motion footage “quadrupled the odds that jurors would begin the deliberation phase ready to convict,” the researchers write. Those who watched the clip at this speed were more likely to conclude that there was a wilful intention to kill.”*
