LCCN 85-47896. This book provides a detailed appraisal of the American jury system. All aspects of the jury are carefully studied. The most fascinating chapter is the one showing how juries deliberate and how individual prejudices, group behavior, and peer pressure exert influence on jurors. Throughout the book the author presents all sides of the controversies surrounding the beleaguered system, but while exposing its flaws, he also impresses the reader with his faith in the essential rightness and humaneness of a system which manages to achieve 'compassionate justice with impressive regularity'. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Description text copyright 2005 BooksForComfort. Item ID 8655. book.…
