JURORS BEHAVING BADLY

A blog about the very small percentage of jurors who fail to follow the judge's instructions, including doing independent Internet research, using social media (such as Facebook) to contact parties and lawyers, and blogging about the trial. Juror misconduct frequently results in mistrials and a waste of resources. Links will be provided to sample jury summonses, jury instructions, and other resources to improve juror education and minimize juror misconduct, thereby promoting fairness of trials.

Queens NY Juror Fined $1000 For Dishing on Facebook During Trial

Here we go again....and again! It is frankly astonishing that apparently intelligent jurors feel the need to blab on Facebook about their jury experience during the trial despite the strong warnings of the judge. This juror fined $1,000. Fears she may lose her job.
