The
issue of whether or not to allow jurors to discuss the evidence while a
trial is still going on is among the most contentious jury innovations
being discussed in the modern court.
By allowing jurors to discuss the evidence before the trial has
finished, the hope is that juror comprehension will be enhanced and
their interest in the case will increase.
In theory, discussion will lead to more accurate verdicts with
faster, more efficient deliberation processes.
However, there is a great deal of contention as to whether or not
juror discussions of evidence during the trial are a positive idea.
This module seeks to explore the issue of juror discussions during the
trial, its advantages, and its disadvantages.
