Often, it’s because they don’t know what to expect – or what is expected of them. To help educate the public about jury service, the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) and the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) developed an “explainer” video titled, “Answering the call for jury duty.” Superior Court of California County of Orange

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5xDwxnzTRM May 22, 2018 DNA testing reveals that long-used forensic methods are error-riddled. TV shows like CSI, Law and Order, and NCIS depict incredible technology identifying criminals. NYPD detective Harry Houck tells John Stossel that he agrees bite mark analysis has problems, but that it can be used as one piece in a puzzle to convict people. Other methods have flaws, too. Even fingerprint analysis sometimes goes wrong, as do carpet fiber evidence, gun tracing, and hair matching. Stossel asks Fabricant: “Why do judges admit this stuff? Why don’t defense attorneys get it thrown out?” Fabricant answers, “We all went to law school because we don’t know science, we don’t know math. And if somebody comes in in a white lab coat ... that’s good enough for government work.” John Stossel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b2nnlBBx44 Apr 15, 2021 The defense rested Thursday in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is accused of killing George Floyd last May during an arrest outside a convenient store. Chauvin spoke for the first time as he invoked his Fifth Amendment right to not take the stand. The jury was not present as he announced he would not testify in his own defense. It was the 14th day of the trial that saw testimony from witnesses, law enforcement and health experts. Jury deliberations are expected to begin soon. Inside Edition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE1Kcu9CKME Apr 20, 2021 The jury that decided Derek Chauvin’s fate was made up of five men and seven women. Four are Black, six are white, and two identify as multi-racial. We actually heard from some of them during jury selection, a first in a televised trial. Juror number 2, a chemist, said during selection they “support the message that every life should matter equally.” With the whole world watching, we spoke to someone who knows what the jurors went through, because she was a juror in Harvey Weinstein’s trial.
