jury decisions versus judges' decisions  

Definición

  • In American trials, the verdict is reached by either a judge or a jury, raising questions as to how these two fact finders reach their decisions and whether their decisions systematically differ. Most research has focused on the jury, though some key studies have compared the decisions of judges and juries. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Jury Decisions Versus Judges' Decisions]
