Two experiments explored the impact of a highly publicized news event (the mistaken identification of an innocent man) on juror decision-making. In Experiment 1,168 students rendered verdicts after reading about a trial that involved eyewitness testimony. Subjects who participated in the experiment while the critical story was prominently in the news were less likely to convict a hypothetical defendant than subjects who participated three months before or afterward. In Experiment 2, subjects were 72 ordinary citizens who either had or had not read a magazine article about a mistakenly identified man. The former subjects were less likely to convict than the latter. These results raise questions about the extent to which current local or world events influence the outcome of psychological research and courtroom trials.
