Question 11

Arthur has recently been appointed as a senior policy advisor to the Ministry of Justice. He is reviewing court procedures because of concerns that jurors struggle to construct coherent timelines of events, are easily swayed by defendant characteristics like accents and physical appearance, and are frequently confused by complex forensic DNA statistics. Arthur wants to draft a set of evidence-based procedural guidelines to assist jurors in making objective decisions.
