Juror First Votes in Criminal TrialsStephen P. GarveyCornell Law School Paula Hannaford-AgorNational Center for State Courts Valerie P. HansCornell University - School of Law Nicole L. MottNational Center for State Courts G. Thomas MunstermanNational Center for State Courts (NCSC) Martin T. WellsCornell University - School of Law Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Vol. 1, No. 2, p. 372, 2004 Abstract: Our analysis of the voting behavior of over 3,000 jurors in felony cases tried in Los Angeles, Maricopa County, the District of Columbia, and the Bronx reveals that only in D.C. does a juror's race appear to relate to how he or she votes. African-American jurors in D.C. appear more apt to vote not guilty on the jury's first ballot in cases involving minority defendants charged with drug offenses. We find no evidence, however, that this effect survives into the jury's final verdict.
