Derek Chauvin Trial: Jury Spotlight

April 13, 2021

Across the U.S., all eyes are on the Derek Chauvin trial, which will decide whether the former police officer is guilty of murdering George Floyd last May. But no one will be listening as intently as the jurors tasked with delivering a verdict. Over two weeks, 12 jurors and three alternates were chosen from a pool of more than 300, and these individuals will hear one of the most high-profile cases in recent memory. Law professor John Campbell joins RadioEd in a conversation about the ethics of jury selection, the impact it can have on a case and how this trial might play out.
