Can Juries ever be expected to serve their community?

Question

There have been occassions where people give a vewrdict in order to go home to thier families, and avoid the long drawn out process of discussing what should be done?

Answer 1

Would you be so kind as to cite some instances of what you assert? Studies done by Harry Kalven at the U of Chicago Law School 36 or so years ago showed that in most cases the juries came up with the same decision the judge would have made. You have a new study, or are you just making this up?
