Common Challenges
Hung juries result in mistrials, wasting trial resources and prolonging uncertainty for all parties involved. Jurors may face challenges such as deadlock, bias, or communication barriers, hindering a unanimous verdict.
Innovative Solutions
To overcome these hurdles, utilize techniques like jury selection screening and training. Facilitate constructive discussions through structured deliberations and independent deliberations or use innovative tools like digital polling systems to gauge juror opinions and identify areas of agreement or disagreement.
