Bias on trial
This study investigates the effects of pretrial publicity (PTP), victim-defendant racial composition (same race or interracial), and juror race on jurors’ decisions, and how this differs based on in and outgroup dynamics. Mock-jurors (Black/Hispanic/White; N = 1,123) were exposed to different PTP slants (negative-defendant, negative-victim, no-PTP) and victims who varied in race (Black/Hispanic/White) in the context of an intimate partner homicid…
Trial by Tabloid
The Western District of Washington recently developed an educational video to reduce jurors’ implicit biases. Little is known regarding the effectiveness of this proposed remedy to address a range of implicit biases. This study tested whether this educational video reduces pretrial publicity (PTP) bias. A total of 330 undergraduate participants were randomly assigned to read PTP or unrelated articles. An average of 9 days later, they were randoml…
What drives a jury’s deliberation? The influence of pretrial publicity and jury composition on deliberation slant and content
This study explored how pretrial publicity (PTP) exposure and jury composition affect the slant and content of jury deliberations. It compares jury deliberations (N = 63) composed of jurors (N = 333) who are exposed to the same type of PTP (pure juries: all exposed to negative-victim [NV], negative-defendant [ND], or no PTP) with juries composed of jurors exposed to different types of PTP (mixed juries, e.g., half exposed to ND PTP and half to no…
Your bias is rubbing off on me
Pretrial publicity (PTP) can bias jurors’ decisions. The courts often assume such bias can be ameliorated or reduced by jury deliberations. This study explored the effects of PTP (antiprosecution, antidefense, or no-PTP) and jury type (pure vs. mixed) on mock-jurors’/juries’ (N = 495/96) verdicts, impressions, and trial evidence interpretation. PTP affected predeliberation verdicts, with antidefendant PTP jurors being the most likely to render gu…
