"The Hidden Jury couldn't be more timely or more urgently needed."--from the introduction by Johnnie Cochran

Why do guilty defendants go free?
Why do juries award huge sums for ridiculous lawsuits?
Who really controls the verdict of a trial?

The most powerful people in today's jury trials aren't lawyers, judges, plaintiffs or defendants. Their names don't even appear on the court record. Yet their presence and opinions shape the way that court cases are fought, and can even change the outcome of a trial. They are the hidden jury, the most influential new force in the American legal system.

Lisnek reveals goes behind the scenes of the American justice system to reveal:
