How do Grand Juries, and Trial Juries, Influence Our Criminal Justice System?

The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 11, 2014

Lauren-Brooke Eisen, Counsel in the Brennan Center’s Justice Program, and Bennett L. Gershman, professor at Pace University School of Law, join us for this week’s Please Explain, all about the jury system. We will dig into the history of the jury system, the difference between grand juries and trial juries, and if the structure of the jury system can influence the outcome of court cases.
