Gatsby was dead in his pool and it was George who had shot him so it is easy to see why George could be most responsible. George, though, was convinced by Tom that it was Gatsby that killed Myrtle when he was “distraught with anger” as the prosecution had said. This could show that George would not have killed Gatsby if only Tom had not convinced it was. Then again, Daisy could also be blamed for Gatsby’s death because if she had told the authorities, George would not have killed Gatsby. These are the reasons why a majority of the jurors decided that there was no person wholly responsible for Gatsby’s
