The Supreme Court against the Criminal Jury: Social Science and the Palladium of Liberty John A. Murley

The Supreme Court against the Criminal Jury critiques the Supreme Court's decisions to allow reduced jury sizes and less than unanimous jury verdicts to determine guilt. John A. Murley and Sean D. Sutton challenges the Court's decisions by examining its incomplete understanding of the purpose of trial by jury and evaluating its use of inaccurate and unreliable studies as support for its decisions.
