- Authors
Curci, Alice
- Abstract
The article explains the need of criminal juries in the U.S. to return not only a verdict, but also the underlying rationale. It presents the origins of the inscrutability of jury verdicts in criminal trials. The standard of accountability of juries concerning criminal defendants, society and the justice system is discussed, as well as the importance of a framework for reform to reduce uncertainty and promote accountability and error correction.
