The jury trial and the influence of the media

The jury trial and the influence of the media

Narbal Mendes Silva Júnior; Wanderson Dos Santos Brito; Pedro Ivo Jorge Gomes

Our Knowledge Publishing

pokkari
The aim of this book is to analyze the influence of the media on the jury trial in the face of the principle of impartiality of jurors. The study is based on qualitative bibliographical research, carried out using the deductive method. The jury court is responsible for judging intentional crimes against life, which are provided for in the Brazilian Penal Code of 1940. The principle of publicity is valuable for procedural acts, because it offers interested parties and even the general public the chance to monitor and supervise procedural acts so that the judge can adhere to all procedural requirements in his decisions. However, the publicity given by the media to high-profile cases can lead to early judgment and violate the principle of the presumption of innocence. It is in this context that this book sets out to provide theoretical reflections on the influence that the media can have on the jury trial.

La cour d'assises est charg e de juger les crimes intentionnels contre la vie, pr vus par le code p nal br silien de 1940. Le principe de publicit est pr cieux pour les actes de proc dure, car il offre aux parties int ress es et m me au grand public la possibilit de suivre et de contr ler les actes de proc dure afin que le juge puisse s'en tenir toutes les hypoth ses proc durales dans ses d cisions.

Sammy Carrara, Jr. has been waiting for twelve agonizing hours to find out if the jury will find him not guilty so he can be set free, or guilty and die in the electric chair. He had moved from Tampa to Anna Maria Island to start a new life as a charter boat captain and get away from the bad influences that landed him in prison. But it is the late Seventies and reefer madness is sweeping across the country. Unable to resist the lure of big money and his thirst for adventure, he gets involved in pot smuggling off the West Coast of Florida. Things go south, and he finds himself charged with the first degree murder of a deputy sheriff. Sammy calls on his old friends, Ybor City private investigators Benjamin Blanc and his partner Chino, to assist his lawyer Mark Hammer to try to save his life. He insists he is being framed. The prosecutors claim they have a mountain of evidence, including the murder weapon, to convict him, and strap him into Old Sparky, Florida's infamous electric chair. Getting ready for trial, Blanc and Chino travel from New Orleans to Key West, searching for witnesses that will prove Sammy's alibi. Along the way they encounter a stunning Bourbon Street stripper, and a collection of shifty, offbeat characters. The journey turns hazardous and eventually deadly, leaving them having to defend themselves from mysterious enemies, bent on doing them harm. The hard-fought trail takes unexpected twists and turns. The tenacious prosecutors present a compelling case that Sammy had the motive, the means, and the opportunity to commit the crime. Fighting against insurmountable odds, Hammer, Blanc and Chino battle to the end trying to save Sammy's life. Now, Sammy's fate is in the hands of the jury, and no one can predict what the jury will decide.

"A rousing endorsement of the jury and a superb description of how the system really operates" -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch A beautiful woman has been murdered. A young black handyman -- the woman's lover -- has been accused of the crime. In this dramatic account of the trial, Seymour Wishman, a former criminal lawyer, shows how the jury system really works, from the selection of the jurors, through their deliberations, to the final verdict. Using information gleaned from many studies of the behavior of juries, and basing his book on an actual case, Wishman offers an extraordinary portrait of American justice in action.

Cases connected with the troubles in Northern Ireland have been tried by a judge sitting without a jury in `Diplock Courts'. Given the symbolic importance of the jury within the common law tradition, this study offers the first systematic comparison of the process of trial by judge alone with that of trial by jury. The authors determine the impact of the replacement of jury trial with trial by a professional judge on the adversarial character of the criminal trial process.

Expert Evidence and Criminal Jury Trials

Expert Evidence and Criminal Jury Trials

With expert evidence used more and more often in criminal jury cases, evaluation of its admissibility and presentation is being increasingly thrust into the spotlight. However, jury room secrecy has long prevented a rigorous analysis of its complexities. Expert Evidence and Criminal Jury Trials draws on an unprecedented study carried out in Commonwealth jurisdictions which have recently granted access to jurors, offering a unique exploration of the presentation and comprehension of expert evidence in criminal jury trials and a critical perspective on parallel UK processes. The authors combine empirical research conducted in the courtroom with expert academic analysis, examining, analysing, and comparing the views of not only real jurors, but also courtroom lawyers, judges, and experts across over 50 trials to gauge how complex and sometimes conflicting expert evidence is perceived and understood by all parties. Examples of modern technologies used in expert evidence, including DNA analysis and facial and body-mapping, are considered, and discussion of the challenges they pose covers not only issues of procedure and approach, but also perceptual issues and those of cognitive evaluation. This innovative study aims to facilitate a broader understanding of the use of expert evidence, what problems exist with it, and how such problems influence the communication of information to jurors. While the survey that informs the book relates to criminal trials in three Australian jurisdictions, the legal and psychological issues explored transcend national boundaries, allowing this book to fill a gap in the market for a practical discussion of expert evidence and its use that will be relevant to practitioners in any jurisdiction which utilises an adversarial trial system or juries in criminal trials.

Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life

Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life

Sonali Chakravarti

University of Chicago Press
2019
sidottu
Juries have been at the center of some of the most emotionally charged moments of political life. At the same time, their capacity for legitimate decision making has been under scrutiny, with events like the acquittal of George Zimmerman by a Florida jury for the shooting of Trayvon Martin and the decisions of several grand juries not to indict police officers for the killing of unarmed black men. Meanwhile, the overall use of juries had also declined in recent years, with most cases settled or resolved by plea bargain. With Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life, Sonali Chakravarti offers a full-throated defense of juries as a democratic institution. She argues that juries provide an important site for democratic action by citizens and that their use should be revived. The jury, Chakravarti argues, could be a forward-looking institution that nurtures the best democratic instincts of citizens, but this requires a change in civic education regarding the skills that should be cultivated in jurors before and through the process of a trial. Being a juror, perhaps counter-intuitively, can guide citizens in how to be thoughtful rule-breakers by changing their relationship to their own perceptions and biases and by making options for collective action salient, but they must be better prepared and instructed along the way.

How are juries selected in the United States? What forces influence juries in making their decisions? Are some cases simply beyond the ability of juries to decide? How useful is the entire jury system?In this important and accessible book, a prominent expert on constitutional law examines these and other issues concerning the American jury system. Randolph N. Jonakait describes the historical and social pressures that have driven the development of the jury system; contrasts the American jury system to the legal process in other countries; reveals subtle changes in the popular view of juries; examines how the news media, movies, and books portray and even affect the system; and discusses the empirical data that show how juries actually operate and what influences their decisions. Jonakait endorses the jury system in both civil and criminal cases, spelling out the important social role juries play in legitimizing and affirming the American justice system.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In "Grisham's most addictive courtroom thriller" (The Seattle Times), justice is fighting for its life--and the jury is caught in the crossfire of greed and corruption. They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him. He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode.

The Development of Jury Service in Japan

The Development of Jury Service in Japan

Anna Dobrovolskaia

Routledge
2020
nidottu
This book presents a comprehensive account of past and present efforts to introduce the jury system in Japan. Four legal reforms are documented and assessed: the implementation of the bureaucratic and all-judge special jury systems in the 1870s, the introduction of the all-layperson jury in the late 1920s, the transplantation of the Anglo-American-style jury system to Okinawa under the U.S. Occupation, and the implementation of the mixed-court lay judge (saiban’in) system in 2009. While being primarily interested in the related case studies, the book also discusses the instances when the idea of introducing trial by jury was rejected at different times in Japan’s history. Why does legal reform happen? What are the determinants of success and failure of a reform effort? What are the prospects of the saiban’in system to function effectively in Japan? This book offers important insights on the questions that lie at the core of the law and society debate and are highly relevant for understanding contemporary Japan and its recent and distant past.
