Abstract
This study is concerned primarily with the effect of knowledge of a defendant's prior criminal record on jury verdict behavior and deliberation time. The effect of presence of prior record is investigated across three levels of evidence, ranging from high to low apparent guilt. In addition. the jurors' manner of information integration is explored, using their responses on several rating tasks.
