Friday, November 2, 2007. Presumption of Innocence: Impossible. There is no way to guarantee that jurors hold an unbiased approach to the trial at hand.

Thursday, November 1, 2007. Jury Composition - The Implications. The racial make-up of juries is crucial to the maintenance of justice in our country. Jury composition has wide scale implications in the convictions of the accused.
