How Social Media/News Media Affects Jurors in Trials

Abstract

I am covering how news media and social media affects jurors in trials. In high profile trials and cases, news media and social media portray what they want to portray and show only what they want to show to convince listeners of their side. Sadly, in today's society jurors go into trials with preconceptions already in their head about what they believe. I will be covering many high profile trials that have been influenced by the Media and also interviewing an Oklahoma Official on his take on the subject.
