Explore " juries" with insightful episodes like "Jurors who do their own research; prosecuting violence in sport", "Weekly roundup — We hear you", "Weekly roundup — We hear you", "065 - The Ultimate Cold Case: J Warner Wallace" and "National Anti-Corruption Commission begins investigations; juror misconceptions in sexual assault trials" from podcasts like ""Law Report", "Science unscripted", "Science Unscripted - Daily news on COVID-19", "Hey Chaplain" and "Law Report"" and more!
If a juror does their own research in a trial, does that mean that any guilty verdict reached by the jury is dangerous and should be quashed? And a look at when violence in sport crosses the line and becomes a criminal law matter.
Today we're talking about cold case investigation with J Warner Wallace, he's a famous cold case homicide detective who had his cases featured on television for a decade. Interestingly, he also was once a 35 year old atheist cop who applied his knowledge of solving cold cases to the Bible and then became a Christian. A police officer who's law enforcement skills led him to faith? Now that's an interesting story.
The first twenty minutes or so are about cold case investigations: how to build a case to convince a jury, how to work with a DA, and how to prioritize your cases. In the second half of the interview we transition to Jim's personal story of investigating Christianity like a cold case detective and being transformed from vocal atheist to believing Christian. And don't miss what he says at the end of interview about working in a job full of skeptics as a new believer. Again, the religious stuff kicks in about 22 minutes in (and it's really interesting!) but please don't miss one of the most famous cold case detectives in the country talking about his work.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission commences operation this week. And a New Zealand researcher investigates how jurors respond to evidence in sexual violence cases. (Warning: the conversation discusses sexual violence and child abuse)
The deepening crisis engulfing accounting giant PwC â is this a case of a few bad apples or is there a deeper structural problem? And the Victorian Law Reform Commission is proposing legislative changes to enable deaf and blind people to serve on juries.
Juries have been at the center of some of the most emotionally charged moments of political life, especially in high profile cases like the trial of Derek Chauvin for George Floyd's murder in 2021. This week, we explore juries as a democratic institution. Our guest, Sonali Chakravarti, argues that juries provide an important site for democratic action by citizens and that their use should be revived. She says juries could be a forward-looking institution that nurtures the best democratic instincts of citizens like examining their own perceptions and biases and engaging in dialogue and deliberation.
Chakravarti is a professor of government at Wesleyan University and the author of Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life , published by the University of Chicago Press in 2020. Her work focuses on public participation in legal institutions and the relationship between law and politics.
Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life
Trial lawyer Jerry Blackwell ’84 sat down with Catalyze hosts Sarah O’Carroll and Benny Klein ’24 to share his story of joining the prosecution team, some of the strategies behind the case, and what it was like to deliver the closing remarks of the trial.
Jerry has been nominated by President Biden to become a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. The alumnus is the founding partner, CEO, and chairman of Blackwell Burke P.A.
“You were told . . . that Mr. Floyd died because his heart was too big,” Blackwell said to the jury on April 20, 2021.
“And now, having seen all the evidence and having heard all the evidence, you know the truth, and the truth of the matter is that the reason George Floyd is dead is because Mr. Chauvin’s heart was too small,” he said.
Jerry will deliver the keynote address at the 2022 Morehead-Cain Alumni Forum this October. Listen to his Alumni Speaker Series talk from fall 2021.
Read more about Jerry’s work on the trial.
The intro music for this episode is by Scott Hallyburton ’22, guitarist of the band South of the Soul. This episode also includes the song, “Jazz Mango,” by Joey Pecoraro.

As jury trials resume in courthouses across the country, how will the experiences of the past few year sway juror opinions? What will a post-pandemic trial look like? DLA Piper partners Lyn Pruitt, Buffy Mims, and Adria Conklin discuss.

Special guest! Jason Bloom, one of the nation’s leading jury consultants, talks about his experiences with jury selection during the COVID-19 pandemic. From that foundation, he and I talk about issues likely to arise as jury trials return to reopening courthouses across the country. They include:
- A surprising eagerness of people to show up and serve on juries, in part driven by widespread feelings of frustration after months of shutdown;
- Concern about what Jason calls the “massive exercise in confirmation bias” that potential jurors bring to the courthouse with them, depending on how restricted a juror’s information sources may be;
- The once-obscure psychological terms “ultracrepidarian” and “pareidolia” (you have to listen to the podcast to explore those terms’ meaning :));
- Remembering that 2020 changed potential jurors not only because of COVID, but because of Black Lives Matter, the Biden-Trump election and its aftermath, etc.
- And a reminder that jury service—unlike the similar civic-engagement exercise of voting—forces jurors to form a consensus among their different beliefs; and
- Why 1-page written questionnaires for potential jurors may be particularly useful now in light of the above issues.

I am a huge supporter of the arts and wanted to use this platform as an opportunity to give exposure to young artists. I’m so happy to have with us today an up-and-coming vocalist, Anna Yannessa, a Vocal Performance major at the University of Missouri.
As we walk together, she takes us back to the days as a young girl, when her dream to become an elite soccer player and play at a professional level for the National Team seemed all she desired.
A concussion while on the varsity high school soccer team put in motion the twists and turns of her creative journey which led her to follow her passions for art, journalism, and finally, music.
We talk about how important creativity is, especially for young children, and how allowing our children to have a say and take ownership in activities when young will help them to develop, find their purpose, and ultimately, their voice.
Anna provided the vocals for the musical intro to Season 1, and she lends her creative talent once again in Season 2. You'll love this episode and music..wow, what a vibe!!!
She plans on continuing her vocal studies at the graduate level and can be reached on
