Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial vote of 9 to 3 in favor of guilty suggests that the majority of the group believes the accused is guilty. It is unlikely that the final verdict will be innocent, and a no decision would only occur if the group was deadlocked with an equal number of votes for guilty and not guilty. Therefore, C is the best choice.
