Faculty/Staff/Student News
Students Andrew Augustus and James Melloan and professor Mykol Hamilton attended and presented a poster at the International Congress of Psychology and Law in Miami in March. The project was Voir Dire, Change of Venue, and Legal Desirability: Hidden Jury Bias in High Pretrial Publicity Cases. They analyzed the extent to which potential jurors reveal their biases against a defendant in the jury selection process (voir dire), and how attorneys' and judges' questions affect the potential jurors' honesty about their biases. They based the study on a local murder case, that of Dr. Steven Hall, who was accused or murdering his wife, Isabel Hall, by running over her with their pontoon boat on Herrington Lake. Hamilton was a jury consultant in the case as well as an expert witness concerning a proposed change of venue. For the study they analyzed and compared the degree of "guilty bias" in her change of venue survey of 400 Boyle County jury-eligible residents versus in the 46 potential jurors interviewed in individual voir dire. We found that people were three to seven times more likely to admit to a guilty bias in the phone survey than they were in voir dire, in part because of the way potential jurors were questioned by the judge and attorneys. Justice isn't served if people have biases against a defendant, based on sensationalized news coverage, yet end up on the jury because they hide their biases!Click here for past Faculty News
