问题
Juries in criminal trials do not base verdicts on uncorroborated testimony given by any one witness. Rightly so, because it is usually prudent to be highly skeptical of unsubstantiated claims made by any one person. But then, to be consistent, juries should end an all-too-common practice: convicting defendants on the basis of an uncorroborated full confession. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
选项
A、Juries often acquit in cases in which a defendant retracts a full confession made before trial.
B、The process of jury selection is designed to screen out people who have a firm opinion about the defendant’ s guilt in advance of the trial.
C、Defendants sometimes make full confessions when they did in fact do what they are accused of doing and have come to believe that the prosecutor has compelling proof of this.
D、Highly suggestible people who are accused of wrongdoing sometimes become so unsure of their own recollection of the past that they can come to accept the accusations made against them.
E、Many people believe that juries should not convict defendants who have not made a full confession.
答案
D
解析
本题根据“对未经证实的证词持怀疑态度”是正确的,做出了“陪审团不应根据未经完全证实的招供而给被告定罪”的结论,要对本题的结论构成支持,就要找一个能说明an uncorroborated fullconfession可能并不正确的选项。(D)选项表明highly suggestible people易被误导而承认他们没有做过的事情,所以能最强有力地支持上面的“应该停止根据未经证实的招供而给被告定罪”的结论;(A)易误选,但是(A)并没说明陪审团为什么会acquit,因此(A)不能支持结论;(C)不能说明为什么不能停止由uncorroborated full confession而给被告定罪;(B)和(E)都是无关选项。
