Any Law Types - Why Would A Jury Discharge ?


Recommended Posts

Jury discharge means that for some reason the Jury has been found incapable of passing a fair verdict, because they might be biased.

For example, here in the US there is a trial of Roger Clemens going on. He's a former baseball player. So if the jury was made up of people who are baseball fans, they would be biased and wouldn't be capable of passing a fair verdict. So they discharge the jury and then pick a new one.
