Jury Duty Trauma

iPM

Available for over a year

Is there enough support available for jurors in cases of extreme violence? An iPM listener describes the trauma he experienced after serving on the jury of a murder trial, and listening to graphic details about the crime. He's concerned that unlike other people in the courtroom, jurors are left alone to deal with what they've seen in evidence, and he believes more should be done to prepare them for "the horrors they'll face".
