舒尔茨是一名律师。他贿赂了陪审团中的一名男子，以坚持过失杀人的罪名定罪，而不是检方提出的谋杀罪指控。

陪审团闭门讨论了将近一周，才返回法庭。他们一致作出了过失杀人的裁决。

当舒尔茨付钱给那位陪审员时，他问他是否很难说服其他陪审员接受过失杀人罪的指控。

“当然困难啦。”陪审员回答说，“因为其他人都想宣判他无罪。”

Shultz，a lawyer，bribed a man on the jury to hold out for a charge of manslaughter，as opposed to the charge of murder which was brought by the prosecution。

The jury was out for nearly a week before they returned to court with the manslaughter verdict。

When Shultz paid the juror，he asked him if it had been hard to persuade the other jurors to get the charge of manslaughter。

“Sure did。”the juror replied，“all the others wanted to acquit him。”
