Some factors which may very properly be taken into account by a jury when deliberating on evidence given at a trial were referred to by Mr Justice Kennedy when commenting on a motion for a new trial in the Supreme Court in Dunedin. “There are so many things that a jury has to observe” his Honour said. “It must not only count the witnesses. . It can see the witnesses and tell from their attitude and demeanour what manner of people they are. It may then conclude, as a Judge may conclude to what extent a witness is to be relied on in preference to other witnesses.”
