Read the section of THiNK Chapter 3 (you can access this reading through your
SmartBook link), which discusses Lance Armstrong’s interview with Oprah. Body
language plays an important role in jurors’ perception of a defendant’s guilt. If this had
been a trial, discuss whether the jurors should have been allowed to see Armstrong
making his “confession,” or if a law should be put in place that sets the defendant out of
the jurors’ view so as not to allow the defendant’s body language to influence jurors’
decisions.
