I’ve been following the Casey Anthony trial daily for a few reasons. For one, I know the consultants working on the case so I’m always watching for any tv interviews they decide to do. Second, I’m intrigued by the case just like the rest of the nation. Third, it’s always interesting to me to see how the media portrays trials.

When you are selection (or de-selecting) jurors, it is easy to focus on individual jurors to the point that you forget about how jurors are going to interact with one another. Individual characteristics are extremely important, but so are group dynamics.

When trial is finished, and particularly if it did not go well, you may be inclined to conduct some post-trial interviews with the jurors.
