IT'S YOUR LAW
By Oregon State Bar
The Playful Jury
A jury trial is serious business,
especially for the parties. The
jurors have grave responsibilities!
and if justice is to be done, the
jurors must be able to concentrate |
on the evidence and to deliberate
without distraction to reach a |
verdict.
But what if that isn’t the situa
tion? Allan lost his case by ver
dict of the jury, but from what
he learned afterward, the jurors
had really enjoyed themselves.
The fact was the jury mem
bers had played cards, conduct
ed a football pool, watched tele
vision and listened to the radio,
all during the time they were
presumed to have been serious
ly deliberating on the findings.
Allan moved for a new trial on
the grounds that the trial jury
was too relaxed. The court grant
ed his request.
The court held that where a
jury shows a lack of awareness
of its duty by playing cards, sub
scribing to a sports pool and
watching or listening to television
or the radio, the question of whe
ther any party to the action re
ceived his right to deliberation
free from extraneous influence is
placed in serious doubt.
Thus what goes on in the jury
room is to a limited extent pub
lic business. Just as tampering
with a jury can result in a mis
trial, so can an improper atti
tude by the jury.
Jury duty is a high honor and
a civic responsibility and an im
portant part of our system of jus
tice. The parties to the case are
entitled to full application to
duty.
The parties are also entitled to
an impartial and unbiased jury.
Where, because of local notoriety
or public sentiment, a jury of lo
cal citizens is apt to have formed
firm opinions about the case, the
judge may transfer the case to
another county for trial.

column as a public service. No
