Abstract
Research has shown that mock jurors are often unable to disregard negatively biasing pretrial publicity when making decisions regarding the fate of criminal defendant(s). Suspicion has been shown to reduce these effects. This study explored the use of judicial instructions containing suspicion as a method for reducing the effects of exposure to negatively biasing publicity on mock jurors.
