Why should a juror be excluded for possessing special knowledge? Wouldn't that be an advantage when it comes to finding facts?
- pmoriarty 8y agoIf a juror knows the defendant or the victim, or knows the prosecutor or defense attorney for that matter, that could bias them.
- FireBeyond 8y agoBecause neither side really has an interest in you as a juror determining things yourself, they want jurors who can be accepting of their narrative, be they prosecution or defense.
