"Bornstein and Greene debunk more than a dozen popular myths-which often double as legal assumptions-about juries and how they function, interweaving descriptions of notable jury trials with scientific research testing whether these assumptions have merit. Engaging in style and thoroughly researched, this book is a 'must read' for anyone with an interest in jury decision making and is sure to become required reading in any class examining the jury."--Margaret Bull Kovera, PhD, Presidential Scholar and Professor of Psychology, John Jay College, City University of New York "This book is a welcome addition to the field. The authors use the most up-to-date findings to critically evaluate several myths about jury decision making. The chapters are presented in a fair and unbiased manner, making for an exceptionally clever and well-thought out book. This book adds something original to the field and will be a tremendous benefit for social scientists interested in juries and jury decision making."--Jeffrey Neuschatz, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, University of Alabama in Huntsville "The book skillfully interweaves cogent summaries of legal principles or important forensic issues, such as the psychology of eyewitness accuracy or false confession, with research into how juries grapple with these topics." --PsycCRITIQUES
