"They didn't like him so he must have been able to commit the crime is what transpired in there mind even though they didn't know that." "I don't know where to start in criticizing this sentence. "There mind" is singular even though there are 6 of 12 jurors. Transpire is used incorrectly. The antecedent of "that" is unclear. And that's just the grammar; the content of the sentence is nonsensical." For once Chris, I must agree with you. That was a terrible sentence. Most males don't know what the word "antecedent" means. With a few minor changes I think I can make the sentence much clearer to the inferior masses. To begin with the sentence is in dire need of a descriptive adverb followed by a subjective noun which would accent the prepositional phrase that should be substituted for the existing dangling participle which would negate the need for an antecedent and would exemplify the non-descriptive adjective which is really useless in a past tense because of the lack of a disconnected conjunction followed by a nonactive verb which subjugates the original meaning of the misunderstood sentence.
