Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

This quantitative study's design incorporates analysis of the following three points: An environment where only defendants know for sure whether they are guilty or innocent; jury behavior is determined endogenously along with prosecutor and defendant behavior; and prosecutors and juries each only observe a noisy signal regarding the underlying guilt of any given defendant (Bjerk, 2007, p. 4). Eight sources are cited in this seven-page paper.
