Document Summary
75 % agree with judge and jury. Only 2 %, judges acquit while juries convict. Majority of cases (criminal and civil) they agree. In criminal cases judges more likely to convict. In civil cases, no clear difference between plaintiff or defendent. Studies done by kalvin and zeisel and the national center for state courts. Death qualified: remaining jurors in a pool once you remove anyone who is against death penalty. Less groupthink because less uniformity in opinion. Similar to actual expertise vs. credibility, apparent expertise.
