For those of you who were not familiar with the case, which side's arguments did you read first?
Did it feel like this order influenced your reasoning or final judgment?
(I read pro-guilt ideas first, and feel now that this ordering contributed to my judgment that Knox and Sollecito are guilty. I wonder how conviction rates would change in the US if we let the defense go first, i.e. what are the relative influence values of the right to speak first vs. last?)
The principled position is to read the arguments in favor of non-guilt first because we generally believe in the presumptions of innocence and therefore should set up our minds with a bias to innocence rather than a bias to guilt when you have to have a bias but can't control it.
