One Angry Man: How an individual educates his co-jurors in a medical malpractice case

A glipmse of how jurors unfamiliar with medicine can be swayed so easily by lawyer tactics:

Juror: How can we not give them the money? You heard the Chiropractor: they had Cervical Myalgia!
My Friend: He was using big words to impress you. Do you know what Cervical Myalgia means?
Juror: Uhh….no
My Friend: Neck Pain. ‘Cervical’ is neck. ‘My’ is muscle. ‘Algia’ is pain. They had Neck Muscle Pain.
