The jury should consider various factors while evaluating the Same Decision Defense. These factors may include the presence or absence of discriminatory statements or actions by the employer, any statistical evidence regarding the demographics of the workplace, employment practices, and any evidence of a pattern of discriminatory conduct. The jury should also consider any evidence presented by the defendant that directly supports their claim of a legitimate reason for the employment decision.
