jurors

Two thirds of jurors In England Wales do not understand the law prescribed by judges in court.

The report for the Ministry of Justice, was carried out on 68,000 verdicts over a two year period.

However, the report also found that the England and Wales justice system was fair and free of racial prejudice.

The study staged simulated trials and then asked jurors whether they could recall key questions a judge had asked and the legal directions they had given.
