Ep. 35: In A Post-Facts World, Are Jurors Listening?

What do you do when jurors think they know more than the experts on the witness stand? Senior trials reporter Daniel Siegal joins us to talk about his recent story on modern jurors who are emboldened by too many Google searches and episodes of Law and Order. Also on this week’s show, we discuss Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ move to ramp up enforcement of federal marijuana laws; Paul Manafort’s suit against Special Counsel Robert Mueller; and an insurance company balking at paying a claim because of a machete-wielding shareholder.
